Reply to comment by An_Old_Big_Tree in ITT: Map the full path of your politics over the years by revolt
To me, individualism (what I prefer simply to call 'anarchy' since I also think the social/individual dichotomy is bogus and invented by strict collectivists that don't really understand anarchy) just means you don't prioritize the idea of fighting for a rigid pre-defined global communist revolution and instead produce living anarchy everywhere you can in different ways.

I've experienced too many individualists and especially egoists to have really simplistic ideas of the individual and/or self-interest, that make me associate those views with them.
So in my experience the collectivist side is authoritarian and the individualist side doesn't seem to have a good sense of what an individual is and has a corresponding selfishness that I don't like and think often has affinity with capitalist individualism.

I also avoid egoism (and the term 'post-left') because of those types. But most egoists don't use the word 'individualist', just the other 2.
