'''Collectivism''' is the belief that consensus is a better mode of [[choice|decision]]-making than [[individualism]]. It is generally preferred by [[Liberal]]s. [[Conservative]]s generally prefer [[individualism]].
Author [[Ayn Rand]] was against collectivism in all forms. She grew up in [[USSR|Soviet Russia]], and experienced first-hand the flaws of total collectivism. After emigrating to [[USA|America]], she wrote many books. Most well known is ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'', though ''[[The Fountainhead]]'' covers much of the same conceptual territory, and is considered an easier read.
