collectivizing
Merging into communes
Collectivizing is the process of transferring private ownership to collective or state control, typically applied to farms, factories, or other productive property.
The term carries historical weight from Soviet and Maoist programs that forcibly consolidated individual landholdings: Stalin's campaign of collectivizing agriculture led to widespread famine.
More broadly, it can mean organizing any resource or effort under shared management.
