"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
