communitarians
Society over self believers
Communitarians are people who emphasize the importance of community and social bonds over individual autonomy.
The term applies both to those who prioritize their local community's interests and to adherents of communitarianism, a political philosophy that critiques excessive individualism and argues that identity and values are shaped by community membership.
Communitarians argue that rights come with corresponding responsibilities to society.
