When I looked up "collectivism" in the dictionary, the first definition was "the philosophy of communism." Since "individualism" doesn't have a political agenda, I thought maybe another word would be more appropriate.
But for the record, my first choice was also the word "collectivism".

It has two meanings. Here's the SECOND meaning of "collectivism" according to M-W:
A social theory or doctrine that emphasizes the importance of the collective (as the society or state) in contrast to the individual and that tends to analyze society in terms of collective behavior.

I'd go with collectivism, as the link with communism must be faltering as the whole politcal frame has faltered!

I agree , Collectivism makes more sense, but also try "Socialism".
