Independence and Individualism are always in a pair. If you are seeking Individualism then you need a true independence. So that you can come out as Individual rather being an instance of already existing living objects. On the other side, true independence can achieved by being an Individual. Achieving independence is difficult because we all are inter-dependent on each other some or the other way. However, being in inter-dependence state, you can still achieve Individualism and those who can reach that level are actually a true Individual.
Independence for most of us is to have freedom to make our own choices. True Independence includes a "freedom of not to choose" as well. Many times it happens that we don’t have choice of not to choose and we are going with tide. And we still feel that we are independent and made our own choice.

Obama said: the interests of community are more important than are the interests of the individual. He promised change. Change must then mean to abandon individual freedom.
Trying to label his ideas may lead to left, right, middle, socialist, communist, fascist, monarchist or other ideas that turn you on, but in reality, there are only two different political forms. The oldest is where the few elite rule the many, part of all those labels. The newest is where the many rule themselves, guided by a moral consensus and written law, i.e., individual freedom. Conservatives and libertarians say the interests of individuals are more important than are those of the community. They believe when individuals prosper, their families and communities prosper and government works best staying out of their way. Modern Democrats believe community interests are most important. They claim they can better define and govern community interests. They expand the role of government to serve those interests and as a few elite, will rule the many. Which is right? Claysamerica.com
