The problem with such a question is that human beings don't become individualist if you take away all collective entities. If you look the various societies in which people have the most individual freedoms, they also tend to have fairly powerful governments. Conversely, many societies without government devolve into highly repressive behavior at the individual or small group level. In reality, a collective choice to promote individualism is the best way to accomplish a free society.
