Spelling correction: Read Chir Kazi Baburam Acharya the greatest historian of modern Nepal. Continuation of my tretise on my individualism. The second tenet of individualism is that the welfare of society is best served by letting people pursue their own economic self-interest, as opposed to some collective body (such as Nepalese government) dictating what is in society's best interest. Or as Adam Smith put it in a famous passage from The Wealth of Nations, an individual who intends his own gain is led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always worse for the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who effect to trade for the public good. The central message of individualism, therefore, is that individual economic and political freedoms are the ground rules on which asociety should be based. This puts individualism in conflict with collectivism. Collectivism asserts the primacy over the individual, while individualism asserts just the opposite. This underlying ideological conflict has been promoted by the JESUITS in Nepal termed the LIBERATION THEOLOGY and supported by the Society of Jesus in Rome. Catholic Church was the first multinational to exploit the people of the world under the Black Pope. Next I will address democracy and totalitarianism.
