“It
is true that the virtues which are less esteemed and practiced
now--independence, self-reliance, and the willingness to bear risks, the
readiness to back one's own conviction against a majority, and the
willingness to voluntary cooperation with one's neighbors--are
essentially those on which an individualist society rests. Collectivism
has nothing to put in their place, and in so far as it already has
destroyed then it has left a void filled by nothing but the demand for
obedience and the compulsion of the individual to what is collectively
decided to be good.”
