This is on account of a few obstacles such as the economy would not be nearly as prosperous because of how each individual would not trade or buy from others, ignoring the capitalist ideals the prove our economy profitable. They would rather solely attempt to be independent and self-reliant. Furthermore, if one received a sickness or injury, it would be difficult to heal oneself, especially with an injury, fatal disease or lack of energy. These concepts and many others prove why individualists would not be able to exist as a society. ]]> 2017-11-28 06:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ilavigne9989/2n8vt0svrtrg/wish/210749479
