WHAT DOES COMMUNALISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Communalism

Communalism is "a theory of government or a system of government in which independent communes participate in a federation" and "the principles and practice of communal ownership". Many experiments in utopian socialism did implement internal rules of communalist property ownership in the context of federated communalism. It is at least theoretically possible for a federation of communes to include communes which do not practice communalist rules of property, which is to say, that the overall national government may be a federation of communes, but that private property rather than communalist property is the order within each such commune. Karl Marx, often viewed as the founder of communism, criticized other socialists of his era, and made particularly blistering criticisms of utopianism which was generally conceived along communalist principles, both federational communalism and local property communalism.

Definition of communalism in the English dictionary

The first definition of communalism in the dictionary is a system or theory of government in which the state is seen as a loose federation of self-governing communities. Other definition of communalism is an electoral system in which ethnic groups vote separately for their own representatives. Communalism is also loyalty to the interests of one's own ethnic group rather than to society as a whole.
