collectiviser

A political and economic verb meaning to collectivize — transferring private property, especially farmland, into collective or state ownership. Most strongly associated with Soviet agricultural policy under Stalin, and used more broadly for any forced or planned transfer to collective ownership.

• Le régime a collectivisé les terres agricoles dans les années 1930. — The regime collectivized farmland in the 1930s.
• Les paysans ont résisté quand on a voulu collectiviser leurs terres. — The peasants resisted when their land was collectivized.
• Certains kibboutz israéliens ont collectivisé la production agricole. — Some Israeli kibbutzim collectivized agricultural production.

Collectiviser is a loaded political term implying imposed or ideologically-driven transfer to collective ownership — it's not a neutral synonym for partager or mettre en commun, which describe voluntary sharing.

• politics La collectivisation en URSS — Verified: Stalin's forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture (1929–1933), which dismantled private farms into kolkhozes and sovkhozes and caused a famine that killed millions of peasants.
