As a consequence of the Cold War, and poor social science education in some places, a popular conception interprets collectivism as mandated adherence to a state or other entity opposed to individual autonomy. This belief however may more precisely refer to Leninism, nationalism, fascism, Maoism, etc. which in the 20th century were considered the only forms of collectivism. Collectivism has in actuality been observed throughout history and has existed independently of Soviet Stalinism or fascism for thousands of years, and has been noticed at the very founding of human societies until now.
As an example of a collectivism before then, the societies that existed along the eastern seaboard of what is now the United States before the Revolution during the 1600s and 1700s were both individualist and collectivist. Hybrid systems such as this, are the most common type of societies seen by social scientists if cultural history is examined world wide by comparing societies side by side, both then and now.
