   "Collectivism, any of several types of social organization in which   
   the individual is seen as being subordinate to a social collectivity   
    such as a state, a nation, a race, or a social class. Collectivism   
   may be contrasted with individualism (q.v.), in which the rights and   
    interests of the individual are emphasized.   
   https://www.britannica.com/topic/collectivism   
      
   A collectivist is someone who is content to give up his rights and   
   interests and be subordinant to the group's leader, Such people are   
   commonly referred to as"sheeple."   
      
   Collectivism is for losers
