Are there any philosophies based on compromises between Objectivism and Collectivism?

No.

“Collective truth” is a type of shared (group) truth, but it is not a byproduct of the pursuit of absolute truth, which is rationality. Furthermore, a single hypothesis that meets the necessary condition but differs from the group hypothesis renders the group hypothesis no more than a subjective truth with many holders. Objective truth is “objectively true” only when it is the sole surviving hypothesis of the process of reason contemplating all KNOWN hypotheses. By comparison, absolute truth is absolutely true when it is the sole surviving hypothesis considering all KNOWN and UNKNOWN hypotheses. For completeness, subjective truths meet the necessary condition. Individual subjective truths are never ignored. They must be disproved.

Therefore, collectivism is not rational, nor does it seek to be. It enforces group truths to create equity.

In other words, collectivism is a byproduct of equity and not the pursuit of objective truth. It is always oppressive, i.e., the true oppressor. Crucially, rationality never oppresses, by definition.
