Collectives

In social and political contexts, collectives are groups of individuals who come together to pursue common goals or interests, often cooperating to influence change or achieve shared objectives. Unlike hierarchical organizations, collectives emphasize collaboration, equal participation, and shared responsibility among members. They can range from informal associations to more structured groups, such as worker cooperatives, activist organizations, or community groups. The core idea is that collective effort and solidarity enable members to address issues or create impacts that might be difficult to achieve alone, fostering a sense of shared purpose and mutual support.
