Self interest is what drives us all. Communist visionaries with a utopian vision where the proletariat rules over the bourgeosie vastly underestimated self interest at the very least, while forming their little cabal and cult of personality in order to keep the population in check.
Self interest, individuality and status seeking go hand-in-hand. You see this from 1st world economies where cars, clothing and jewelry are the most commonly touted signs of status on down to tribal societies where the number of goats or who has the biggest squash is touted as a sign of status.
