Etymology

The term 'collectivize' originated in the early 20th century during the rise of socialist and communist movements. It became particularly associated with policies aimed at centralizing ownership and control over means of production, such as land and industry, in the hands of the state or collective entities. The concept of collectivization was often a central feature of planned economies and agrarian reforms in various countries. While the practice has been controversial and met with resistance in some cases, it has also been seen as a way to promote equality and efficiency in certain economic systems.
