Politics is so full of contradictions, that you can't simply take an inversion and use it to argue much of anything. I'm sure you could come up with a good example to illustrate the individual-vs-collective distinction, but this isn't it.

Also at a certain point the policies of the collective do matter, especially when people choose to label themselves as being members of a specific party/movement/etc, rather than merely voting for a politician carrying those labels as a least worst option.
