By political system we mean the system of
government in a nation. Political systems can be
assessed according to two related dimensions. The
Political Systems first is the degree to which they emphasize
collectivism as opposed to individualism. The second
dimension is the degree to which they are democratic
or totalitarian.
Collectivism refers to a system that stresses the
primacy of collective goals over individual goals.
Collectivism When collectivism is emphasized, the needs of the
society as whole are generally viewed as being more
important than individual freedoms.

achieved through violent revolution and totalitarian
Socialism
dictatorship, while social democrats worked to
achieve the same goals by democratic means.
Individualism refers to a political philosophy that an
individual should have freedom over his or her
economic and political pursuits. In contrast to
Individualism
collectivism, individualism stresses that the interests of
the individual should take precedence over the
