A '''collective''' is a [[group]] of people who share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together on a specific project(s) to achieve a common objective. Collectives are also characterised by attempts to share and exercise [[political]] and social [[power]] and to make [[decisions]] on a consensus-driven and egalitarian basis. Collectives differ from cooperatives in that they are not necessarily [[focus]]ed upon an [[economic]] benefit or saving (but can be that as well).
