the.com/collectivism

means A political and social principle holding that the group, community, or state matters more than the individual, and should direct individual behavior for the common good.

from Built from 'collective' plus the ideology suffix '-ism,' rooted in Latin 'collectivus' (gathered together), itself from 'colligere' — to collect, bind, or gather up. The term crystallized in the 19th century as a counterweight to rising individualism, used by socialist thinkers to name the idea that ownership and decision-making belong to the group rather than the lone person. It entered political vocabulary in debates over how to organize industrial society — less a single coinage moment than a word assembled, fittingly, by collective usage.
