collectivism

/kəˈɫɛktɪˌvɪzəm/ noun

The practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it.

Word Origin Collectivism is built from Latin 'com-' (together) and 'legere' (to gather) — literally 'gathering together.' The root 'legere' also gives us collect, elect, select, and lecture (a gathering of listeners). The -ive makes it an adjective, and -ism turns it into a doctrine. So collectivism is the ideology of gathering resources or power collectively.
