Individualism and sectarianism both constitute forms of political apoliticism

Evidence

Individualism is merely brutish apoliticism; sectarianism is apoliticism, and if one looks into it carefully is a form of personal following [clientela ], lacking the party spirit which is the fundamental component of “State spirit”. The demonstration that party spirit is the basic component of “State spirit” is one of the most critically important assertions to uphold. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 659
