Etymology

The term 'collectivism' was first coined in the early 19th century, deriving from the French word 'collectif,' which means 'collective' or 'shared.' It became more prominent during the rise of socialist and communist movements, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Collectivism represents a broad spectrum of ideologies, including socialism, communism, and some forms of anarchism, all of which prioritize collective action and ownership. The concept is often contrasted with individualism, which advocates for personal autonomy and individual rights. Throughout the centuries, collectivism has influenced various political and economic systems, seeking to address issues of inequality and social justice. Its application in practice has varied greatly, often leading to debates about personal freedoms versus social responsibilities.
