You sound as if there was something bad about it.

(See how a libertarian mind works - it assumes that individualism, freedom and private property rights are UNIVERSAL values and marks 'abhorrent and dangerous' anything that disagrees with that).

Fixed that for you!

"Individualism" is a complex topic and I would agree that it's not inherently "abhorrent and dangerous" to challenge it or to argue that "individualism" must be balanced by socially-oriented, "communitarian" values. But history suggests to me that broad attacks on personal freedom or private-property rights have generally had abhorrent and dangerous consequences.
