Conclusion Key words to remember... The term socialists comes from the Latin sociare, which means to combine or share. Collectivism is, in general, the belief that collective human effort has greater practical and moral values ​​than individual effort. It therefore reflects the idea that human nature has a social core and implies that social groups, be they “classes”, “nations”, “races” or otherwise, are significant political entities. Socialists believe that “a collective is more than just individuals interacting together.” ”. It is the belief that the group is an entity in itself, more important than the sum of the individuals. Individuals become secondary to the collective. Their well-being and even their lives are ignored if the group has anything to gain. Individuals are not recognized. They are simply a tool for the group. Collectivism is a form of anthropomorphism. It attempts to see a group of individuals as having a single person-like identity. It is argued that the collective has ideas and can think. It has a purpose and acts to achieve goals. It also has a personality, called culture. He claims to have moral rules that the collective should follow. It also claims to have collective rights. Since the collective is really just composed of interacting individuals, collectivists must change their view of individuals. They morally evaluate people based on the collective's achievements. If the collective manages to accomplish something as big as the moon landing, each individual is given equal credit. If a nation goes to war, everyone is to blame. And if an individual refuses to recognize the superiority of his collective, then he is a traitor and is eliminated. This is the result of collectivism. Collectivism demands that the group be more important than the collective.
