I have never read a piece of leftist literature or policy that talked about suppressing the rights of individuals in favor of some collective. In fact, I think the only time I've ever even seen the word collective is when we're talking about agricultural policy.
Leftists typically frame the struggle as between two pre-existing economic interest groups (the details about how discrete the groups are depends on the particular school or whatever) that you're going to belong to one side of unless you've completely fallen out of society and live in the woods
