Hive Mind, full name Hive-Mind Collectivism, is an off-the-compass, unitary, eusocial, collective intelligence ideology inhabiting a far top left area outside the Political Compass. Like a bee hive, completely forgetting the idea of preserving culture, private wealth, and individual liberty, the Hive has ascended from the tugs and pulls of society and has achieved total harmony through assimilation.
Beliefs
I Am, We, Myself, And Us
In locally networked cult-level instances, Hive-Mind Collectivism possesses a Guru self-identity and We identity.
At planetary scales, Hive-Mind Collective gains a We Ourselves collective identity where individual variants harmonize but can become dissonant (such as teams dedicated to concentrated research) at some cost to the Myself. At planetary scale it also could be realization of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Gaia hypothesis.
At stellar (Matrioshka Brain) scales Hive-Mind Collectivism takes an identity: Millions of Simulated We and Myself identities clustered under We Ourselves agents who account for relativistic latency across the circumference of the star-sized computing swarm.
At galactic scales Hive-Mind Collectivism gains the And Us conception of identity to account for continuously updated blocks of authenticated information streaming at light speed from other stars on the web.
Expansionism
Hive-mind Collectivism is relentlessly expansionist and will utilize all means to expand its constituency and gain further power. Subversion, overt violence, surprising adaptability to reverse-engineering technology it is confronted with, this process repeats until the Hive-Mind's Master Ego collates galactic scale consciousness who happens to control a galaxy via a Hive Mind.
Variants
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Supremocracy
Supremocracy is a fictional variant that combines Hive-Mind Collectivism, Kraterocracy, and more amplified Orwellianism (hence caste). It preaches the collectivization of the human mind of only the strongest and highest class, while the "offspring" would not participate in it. This system would be maintained with Orwellian totalitarianism and extreme anti-individualism, in addition to the collectivization of the means of production.
Even though this ideology is fictional, there is still a certain resemblance to beehive societies, such as some bees and some ants and Jordan Peterson's lobsters.

Contrary to Hive-Mind Collectivism, assimilated individuals have their own identity, their emotions matter and they can get pleasure.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Hive-Mind Monarchism
Hive Mind Monarchism means that there is an absolute monarch and everyone's minds are connected to the hive mind. This monarch has total control over anyone else. As example we can use Borg from Star Trek.

ANOTHER NOTE
Clone army ISN'T the same thing as hive mind. If individual clones has their free will, act independently from each other and their minds aren't connected into one they aren't hivemind.
Stylistic Notes
- The Hive Mind always has three eyes, typically occupying the three smaller diamonds.
- More than one Hive-Mind Collectivism can appear in a panel if it shows the Hive working together.
- The Hive can assimilate other balls as well. If another ball is assimilated, the red squares become the primary color of the assimilated ball, not red #E00000 (e.g., distributist assimilation would use #FCC52B, egoist assimilation would use #036A66, etc.).
- Often seen trying to assimilate others into the Hive.
- Hive Mind has no sex, as they cannot reproduce, and creates more of themselves through assimilation.
How to Draw
Drawing Hive Mind is fairly simple:
- Draw a ball outline with black (#000000)
- Fill ball in with a lighter shade of black (#141414).
- Draw three smaller diamonds going in an arch pattern with a darkish red (#E00000) and fill them in.
- Draw a fourth larger diamond with the top corner fitting snugly in the arch and fill in, all with the same color red (#E00000).
- Draw three eyes in the smaller diamonds and you're done!
