Which is more important: the individual or the collective?

In an ethnically homogeneous community, the collective is valued more than the individual.
In an ethnically/racially diverse community, the individual is worshiped while the collective is ignored.
The individual is the heart and the collective is the lungs
There is no such thing as the individual. People do not live in a vacuum.

Neither do collectives.
>collective
>other people
Nice spooks you got there.
Collectives are more important, because they are made up of countless individuals.
But the Collective should never step in the Individual to achieve a means to an end either. It will only be hurting itself, after all.

The joke being that in practice its the opposite.
Communities stay homogeneous if individualism is practiced, and become diverse where collectivism is employed.
Dont ask how or why, just making observations.

There is no such thing as a collective, it's just a spooky way of describing more than 1 Egoist being in the same room.

The "collective" is just a meme.
There exists only the individual.
>>336523
It depends on the individual and collective.

Marx never denied the individual, though.
Naturally, the collective is more important as we are social animals.
But morally, it's completely subjective as everyone has different morals.
On four legs, Individual
On two legs, a balance between the two
On three legs, the collective

the population is a organic entity that physicaly produces all individual humans
