Fusion of Self into Whole

Collectivism

Conformity, collective responsibility, subordination, obedience, collective cohesion, in-group loyalty, fatalism, self-suppression, execution of orders, endurance, self-sacrifice, paternalism, tradition, nationalism, state, army, church, people as sacred collective

Essence: subordination of the individual to the survival and unity of the social whole.

The individual is experienced as a part of something larger - collective, hierarchy, people, state - and this belonging is felt as morally necessary. Authority and consensus provide genuine orientation, and deviation is felt as dangerous. Submission has a devotional quality: obedience unconditional, belief unquestioning, endurance without resistance. Conformity is actively enforced - others are expected to align, internal tensions to be concealed.

Manifests as deferential, collectivist, and orthodox behavior.

Extreme manifestations: group overdependence, fatalistic passivity, blind obedience, suppression of dissent, outgroup hostility.
