Self-expression, I would argue, heightens in socialism and communism, as your existence is less tied to your ability to generate profits for others and your needs are more taken care of. The individualism socialists fight against is the anti-social type, the kind that seeks to profit off of others and compete with them, rather than work together to achieve the best outcome for everyone. This does not go counter to self-expression.
