Yes! There is a balance to be struck between collectivism and individualism..... Collectivism as tribalism only works in groups up to a certain size (I'm sure sociologists have pinpointed optimal group sizes for certain behaviors). Part of the failure of nationalism I think is in the effort to create a tribal atmosphere in a group that is far too large and diverse to operate as a tribe...
