Then by your (excellent) observation we here would be individualist. Therefore empowering the individual to determine his or her own fate, rather than leaving it up to a collective.

What about Democrat and Republican? "Democrat" - believes in equity, the will/feelings of the majority over the individual, direct vote, rights flowing from civil society. "Republican" - believes in equality before the law, the retained rights of the individual upon which the majority cannot encroach or must fully mitigate (eminent domain,) elected layers of representative government, rights flow from the Creator.
