Yes, the Germanic groups excelled at communal labor. They have much to teach the laggard Anglo and Celts in this regard. Later, they voted for Socialism, Marxist to be exact. A tragedy. There are better Socialisms. In any case and at whatever technical stage of development, all viable cultures will have both individualistic and communal elements. The Amish also live in private homes, one per family. So on the face of it, they were more balanced than the non-German groups.
You are an absolute idiot. Communal life came first in the development of man. The individualism (a good thing also) came later. We can't give up our communal roots lest we sicken and die - as we have done here in America.
I've revealed by Irish heritage many times. Your memory is no better than the rest of your mind.
The USA was set up under the premise of individuality, and was that way until the FDR years with the Depression. The FF feared the communal lifestyle under feudalism more than anything else and made sure the Constitution would stop central government would not get too big. If America does not fit your set of ideals, there are other areas of the world that does? I AM so happy that you think my mind does not match up with yours, I consider that to be a compliment.
You have retreated, so will I. The solution is the government supporting the market system, to control the things that make individuals interdependent. Infrastructure is a prime example. When government involves itself with social and moral issues, that is when it oversteps.

Communal labor is a good thing? Boy, did you just expose your roots. Folks, we have a commune-ist in our midst.

There must be a balance. We're out of balance with careerism, self indulgence and other kinds of morbid individualism.
