I didn’t downvote you, but my guess is that your comment came off as an attempt to push Randianism, or perhaps some other closely related ideology.

So they were engaging in exactly the kind of nationalism Orwell describes. How fitting.
...so would you say “collectivism” is a good term for describing them?
