You can't be collectivist and libertarian, they're essentially opposites

I'm an individualist, definitely - I support causes that affect everyone (such as the environment, space, technological development), but people are people and it is their choice as to how they live on a personal level. Individualism applies over most of people's lives, and while people tend to associate in groups, they are groups of individuals, and not of worker drones.

No, no they're not, outside the US at least. I don't know if "libertarianism" includes laissez faire economics in the UK. Does it?

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden

Well I'm mainly Collectivist then, but I support the freedom posed by the latter.
