Well, what I responded with to that same statement was that communal identity and individual identity were both "fundamental traits of human nature." However, your comment claimed that the only fundamental trait is instinctive survival and other traits are differing methods of ensuring survival.
Thus, collectivism is a method of ensuring survival. Yet, I take the rest of the post to mean that this is not a universal trait but differs across region (East Germany vs. Texas). Communism as a generalization has been proven wrong time and again.
I don't believe this is what you actually mean so I was asking to clarify.
