Communism was developed by German philosophers.

That’s correct. Western civilization has its flaws but it is far superior and more progressive to the East in many ways.

@Shengyen It’s not for up debate though, it’s an objective truth. I could explain, but this is something that would be better learned from one’s own research on the topic.

But it would be a huge mistake to think the west is 100% about individualism and the east is 100% collectivism..

Both cultures move between the two.. Sometimes the west leans more one way and then it leans more the other.. Things keep changing..

Makes sense

Yes, and no. In the West Protestant (Anglo and northern European) societies are more individualist than Catholic and Orthodox ones.

I’d like a blend. Going to Japan was a revelation.
