<sod>  ==Politics==
 
 Some political systems are based on a form of collectivism known as [[corporatism]] - [[fascism]] in particular. [[Nationalism]] regards people with reference to their nationality. [[Marxism]] regards people with reference to their economic class. 
 
 Some political collectivists hold that different groups have competing interests, and that the [[individual]]'s interests and characteristics are in fact tied up with the interests and characteristics of his or her group. In this line of thought, differences between groups are considered significant, while differences between [[individual]]s within groups, to the extent that they are acknowledged at all, are considered unimportant.

Collectivism in the [[Marxist]] [[point of view]] could be considered [[anti-capitalist]]ic, with emphasis on worker [[welfare]] over [[profit]] motive. Kinds of collectivism run the gamut of strict abolition of all [[personal property]] to much more [[moderate]] views, such as those in [[Israeli]] [[kibbutzes]], where land is the collective propety. [[Socialized medicine]] could also be considered collectivism, the expense of health care and it's administration decided by [[democratic]] [[vote]] instead of [[private ownership]].
