A person's freedom to do something might be limited if collectivism is prioritised on the grounds that it is against "the good of society." The core idea of collectivism is that a society should be built on the principles of individual economic and political freedom.
What is Collectivism?
Any of a number of social structures known as collectivism view the individual as being subject to a larger social collectivity, such as a state, country, race, or social class. Individualism (q.v. ), which emphasises the rights and interests of the person, can be contrasted with collectivism.
Du contrat social, written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1762 (see social contract), is the first contemporary, significant exposition of collectivist beliefs in the West. It makes the case that an individual may only achieve his true self and freedom by submitting to the "general will" of the society. Beginning in the early 1800s, German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel claimed that the nation-state, which to him was the purest manifestation of social morality, was the only place where an individual might achieve his full being and freedom. In the introduction to his Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Karl Marx later gave the clearest explanation of the collectivist perspective on the importance of social interaction: In his essay, he said that "men's social being dictates their awareness, not their consciousness itself."
