In the science fiction novella Anthem by Ayn Rand, who had been raised in the Soviet Union, a time that the populace was under a system of coerced 'Equality'. She promotes her ideals of human nature by engendering a dystopian society in which individualism is maleficent. The protagonist of the novel Equality 7-2521 is born into a nation that abolishes the word 'I'. Rand's philosophy of human nature is prodigiously precise in the sense that a higher power taking away society's rights to think for oneself would not only lead to a dystopian world but there would always be someone rebelling. The Soviet Union is only one example of the horrific incidents that have taken place due to collectivism and a totalitarian regime. Rwandan Genocide, the Westboro Baptist Church, and Nazi Germany are other examples from sundry timelines that demonstrate the hazards of individual conceptions being abolished from a population. The first example of a group such as this is a recent event that took place in Rwanda that lead to many innocent people being killed. .
The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 is an example of a group-predicated identity of one's personal identity that overshadows the self. Following World War I, the Belgians surmounted Rwanda; they declared that everyone must have an identity card that labeled the Rwandans either Hutu or Tutsi, the Hutu's made up much more of the population, they had full control over the government. President Habyarimana, a Hutu, signed documents enabling Tutsi's to participate in the regime. On April 6th, 1994, the President was returning home when Hutu extremists shot his plane out of the sky. Within 24 hours after the crash, Hutu extremists had surmounted the regime, inculpated the Tutsis for the assassination, and commenced 100 days of slaughter. In the end, over 800 000 Tutsi and Hutu sympathizers had been tortured and slaughtered for simply being ethnic groups occupying different places of Rwanda.
