So, you think that because someone came up with a label, to attach to a natural psychological process, that is when it was created?
There is NO PROOF that it is a natural psychological process! Becuase it is a myth!!!

In the 1700s, when feudalism was breaking down and capitalism was on the rise, it was the excuse of "individualism" that the bourgeois revolutions began(viz. American Revolution).

So you are saying the "concept" of individualism, only exists because a "man" (nice reference by the way) declared it to be known as individualism?
Bingo! Individualism was a myth leftover from the 1700s that well wishers believe in; however, by no means does it exist -save in the form of an idea- and I have yet to see any proof that it has!!! Its not like collectivism exists either, capitalism is collective! It requires that people work for others' profit, that the "individual" reaps none of what s/he sows.
