But, rugged individualism, while implicitly sought by all, is an ideal which is never attained by mere fallen individuals (and thus by all nations made up of fallen individuals). Even [[Karl Marx]], who was the founder of Communistic dictatorship, was driven by the hope of creating a society in which individuals lived righteously without bureaucratic oversight. [[Ayn Rand]], in contrast to Marx, founded a directly purest branch of individualism, but her means are no better, in the end, than those of Marx.

The only person ever to have lived a life of rugged individualism is [[Jesus Christ]], and he never preached individualism as such, but something of far more dense value: the spirit of the [[Mosaic Law]], which has been God's standard to all nations since the second-youngest son of [[Jacob]] was [[prime minister]] in [[Egypt]].
