Communization

/ˌkɒmjʊnaɪˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The process or act of converting something into common ownership or organizing it according to communist principles.

Etymology

From communize + -ation suffix. Emerged as the substantive form of the verb 'communize,' used particularly in historical and political discourse to discuss ideological transformation.

Kelly Says

Communist theorists distinguished between 'communization' (the process of converting property and society to communism) and 'communalism' (community-based organization), but Cold War English blurred these terms until they sounded like one threat.
