-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.
