It makes sense to me, since the status quo in the US is (capitalist) individualism, the natural reaction disenfranchised American radicals have to their oppressive culture is to embrace collectivism.

But people elsewhere in the world don't have that warped capitalist-cowboy everyone-for-themselves and fuck tomorrow culture Americans all have forced on them where you're either A) a robber baron or B) a robber baron's servant, so we don't shy away from regular-flavor anarchism.

Furthermore, a lot of us in other parts of the world live under various degrees of state-socialism and see its flaws first hand, so we're not so quick to embrace collectivism.
