I certanly think the individualism/colectivism is a better dichotomy that left/right. However, individualism/colectivism is still to broad in my opinion. Both socialism and facsism are collectivist, but socialism isn't always a violent dictatorship. An example of this is Norway, where I come from. A country that have many colectivist institutions, while still being a free democracy.
