+'''Collectivism''' may also refer to:
-Throughout society, there have been many contributions that have aided in the early development of the ideas of collectivism. The idea came about through the communalism of small villages and religious groups. In turn, these collectivist developments have led to different beliefs and ideologies that make up the term collectivism as a whole.

-The German sociologist [[Ferdinand Tönnies]] described an early model of collectivism and [[individualism]] using the terms ''Gemeinschaft'' (community) and ''Gesellschaft'' (society).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Community and association| author = F.

The author characterized individuals that endorsed a high degree of collectivism as being embedded in their social contexts and prioritizing communal goals over individual goals.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Culture's consequences|last=Hofstede|first=G.|publisher=Sage|year=1980|location=Beverly Hills}}{{ISBN?}}{{page needed|date=March 2022}}</ref>

-== Historical perspectives ==
-=== Marxism–Leninism ===
-{{Socialism sidebar}}{{Main|New Soviet man}}
-Collectivism was an important part of [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist–Leninist]] ideology in the [[Soviet Union]], where it played a key part in forming the New Soviet man, willingly sacrificing his or her life for the good of the collective. Terms such as "collective" and "the masses" were frequently used in the official language and praised in [[agitprop]] literature, for example by [[Vladimir Mayakovsky]] (''Who needs a "1"'') and [[Bertolt Brecht]] ([[The Decision (play)|The Decision]], [[Man Equals Man]]).<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Dictators: Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia|last=Overy|first=Richard|year=2004|isbn=978-039302030-4|pages=[https://archive.org/details/dictators00rich/page/301 301]|url=https://archive.org/details/dictators00rich/page/301}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Horn|first=Eva|date=2006|title=Actors/Agents: Bertolt Brecht and the Politics of Secrecy|journal=Grey Room|volume=24|pages=38–55|doi=10.1162/grey.2006.1.24.38|s2cid=57572547}}</ref>
-=== Anarcho-collectivism ===
-{{Main|Anarcho-collectivism}}
-Anarcho-collectivism deals with collectivism in a decentralized [[anarchism|anarchistic]] system, in which people are paid off their [[surplus labor]]. Collectivist anarchism is contrasted with [[anarcho-communism]], where wages would be abolished and where individuals would take freely from a storehouse of goods "[[to each according to his need]]". It is most commonly associated with [[Mikhail Bakunin]], the [[anti-authoritarian]] sections of the [[International Workingmen's Association]] and the early [[Anarchism in Spain|Spanish anarchist movement]].<ref>Blonna, Alex (1977).

-=== Corporatism ===
-{{Main|Corporatism}}
-[[Corporatism]] is sometimes seen as an ideology which relies on collectivist co-operation as one of its central components. The term is derived from the Latin ''corpus'', or "[[human body]]", which in this case means that society should function like unto a body, through the means of loyalty to an individual's in-group or ''corpus''. Collective bargaining is one example of corporatist economic principles.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Calmfors|first1=Lars|last2=Driffill|first2=John|last3=Honkapohja|first3=Seppo|last4=Giavazzi|first4=Francesco|date=April 1988|title=Bargaining Structure, Corporatism and Macroeconomic Performance|journal=Economic Policy|volume=3|issue=6|pages=13|doi=10.2307/1344503|jstor=1344503}}</ref> Often, state-sanctioned bargaining is considered collectivist.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Grunig|first=James E.|date=January 2000|title=Collectivism, Collaboration, and Societal Corporatism as Core Professional Values in Public Relations|journal=Journal of Public Relations Research|language=en|volume=12|issue=1|pages=23–48|doi=10.1207/S1532754XJPRR1201_3|s2cid=154794020|issn=1062-726X}}</ref>

-== Collectivist Cultures ==
-A large percentage of the world's population is dominated by collectivist ideologies. Societies that highly value collectivism may be characterized by being those that contain a lower level of economic wealth. Many developing nations tend to be collectivists because this is an impactful method in which members within those societies are able to grant each other an extra layer of support; which assures the population’s wellbeing.
-Many countries on the South American, African, and Asian continents are strongly influenced by collectivism. For example, China is a well know collectivistic society. In China, a high value is placed on being united, and individuals are encouraged to conform; this is similar to most other collectivist countries.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ma |first=Zhenzhong |last2=Huang |first2=Yufang |last3=Wu |first3=Jie |last4=Dong |first4=Weiwei |last5=Qi |first5=Liyun |date=2014-09-02 |editor-last=Manlio Del Giudice |editor-first=Prof. |editor2-last=Vincenzo Maggioni |editor2-first=Prof. |title=What matters for knowledge sharing in collectivistic cultures?
