Definition of communalism

communalismnoun

/kəˈmjuːnəlɪzəm//kəˈmjuːnəlɪzəm/

The word "communalism" has its roots in the Latin words "communis," meaning "common," and "ism," a suffix indicating a system or doctrine. It was first coined in the mid-17th century to describe a political and social philosophy that emphasized the importance of community, collectivity, and shared resources. In this context, communalism referred to a system where resources are owned and managed collectively, and decisions are made through consensus rather than individual interest. This idea was influential in the development of socialist and anarchist thought, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In more recent times, the term "communalism" has taken on a broader meaning, often used to describe any social movement or ideology that prioritizes collective ownership, shared decision-making, and community empowerment.
