Description

There is no, nor should there be, ir-reconcilable contrast between the individual and the collective, between the interests of the individual person and the interests of the collective. There should be no such contrast, because collectivism, socialism, does not deny, but combines individual interests with the interests of the collective.

Socialism cannot abstract itself from individual
interests. Socialist society alone can most fully
satisfy these personal interests. More than that;
socialist society alone can firmly safeguard the in-
terests of the individual. In this sense there is no
irreconcilable contrast between "individualism" and socialism.

-J. V. Stalin
