collectivisms
Society over individual philosophies
Collectivisms are ideologies or systems that prioritize group welfare over individual interests.
The term usually appears in political or economic discussions, often critically: The various collectivisms of the twentieth century—communism, fascism, socialism—shared a distrust of individual liberty.
The plural emphasizes distinct varieties rather than a single philosophy.
