Collectivism is only good if it start with individualism. If we achieve collectivism through individualism, it promises to be a good thing. If collectivism is not achieved through individualism it will be a forced collectivism where a few control the masses. Individualism allows you to make mistakes and through it grow up in the knowledge of the truth to live by. Individualism also makes you responsible for your own actions. 

As we struggle to find the truth in all areas of life individually, some people will find themselves sharing the same principles forming a collective association. It will only happen with free people. Freedom within and freedom without is the recipe for new inventions and new technology. Freedom within happens only with the truth. “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”. But we also need freedom without so we are allowed to express ourselves without governmental control, except of course, if we violate other peoples rights. 

Individualism has its origin in the Garden of Eden when God created man with a free will. You can’t have a free will unless you have choices to choose between rights or wrongs. Adam and Eve didn’t know what the “wrong” part was. God created and placed “The Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil” in the middle of The Garden. God then ordered men not to touch or eat from it. Now, man has a choice to obey and serve God voluntarily or choose to disobey. They disobeyed and you know the rest of the story. 

As Adam and Eve were thrown out from The Garden of Eden, God still wanted man but He will not force them in. Since they started multiplying over the earth many opportunities of little trees of the knowledge of good and evil became available. But since we were already out of justice, meaning that righteousness was lost and we were unable to get it back on our own; God intervened. The only way we are able to return to justice and righteousness is through Jesus Christ and it is a choice. Before Jesus Christ came in flesh there were rights and wrongs still as it is today.

The natural world, although in constant decadence, had laws that when put in practice would bring good results. The laws of nature were there to be discovered and use for the benefit of society. God would use anyone He pleases to reveal His knowledge to. According to the Bible He would use the weakest to shame the arrogant.
