individualism in politics (unfinished)

The relation between the individual and society is an organic and dialectical relatio, it is not a relation between 2 seperate entities but rather a relation like the relation between the human cells and the human organic structure.

choices of individuals, the inter-indivudal relations creates the social dynamic, and the social dynamic sets the condition that an individual live within, so society is affected by the choices of individuals as much as the choices of individuals are affected by society.

the rethoric that sets that individuals dictate their own history or future, without taking into consideration the role of society in shaping such history and future, is in itslef contradictory because individuals can not exist as a self consiousness individual without its presence within the existing social conditions and constructs.

The self development relies mainly on the existence of the self within society, individuals aquire language/methods of expression and their self cousiousness within the realm of society; individuals are not free from free from the dictation of the social development and realization, societal progression and development as well is not free from the choices taken by individuals.

as this link presides over the social dynamic, thus the emnacipation of society from one social context to another necessite the emnacipation of the individual that constitutes society itself, also the emnacipation of the individual can not be realized unless there is a mass emnacipation of soceity.

Political individualism is not but a fake realization of the individual, it creates a frame of progressive genuine ideas without any occuring changes within the social construct, it is progressive in comparison with the prevailing ideas in society, but at the same it is unable to relate to the rising conradictions within society, thus it develops as an intellectual ghetto which is able to take a position from the current social realm but unable to change it.

this break in communication between the formed intellectual autonomy and society as a whole requires from these individuals a defense mechanism, an identity that sets them different from the the masses, and with the permanat break with society it develops itself as a lifestyle, and sometimes it develops into a ouritan left afraid from its own contradictions, it struggles to stay unifrom and enclosed.
