To understand the concept of “Identity,” we must understand the concepts of “individualism” and “collectivism”

Individualism Individualism regards man—every man—as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life, a right derived from his nature as a rational being. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful coexistence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rights—and that a group, as such, has no rights other than the individual rights of its members. An individualist is a man who recognizes the inalienable individual rights of man—his own and those of others.

To understand the concept of “Identity,” we must understand the concepts of “individualism” and “collectivism”

Collectivism Collectivism means the subjugation of the individual to a group—whether to a race, class or state does not matter. Collectivism holds that man must be chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called “the common good.” Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group... and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. Ayn Rand The Virtue of Selfishness (128)
