Communalizing, the act of establishing communal ownership or control, has several antonyms. Firstly, "privatizing" refers to the act of transferring ownership or control of assets from the public sector to the private sector. This is the opposite of communalizing as it involves establishing private ownership. Secondly, "individualizing" refers to the act of promoting individualism and the protection of individual rights rather than communal ownership. This means that the focus is on individual control rather than shared ownership. Lastly, "decentralizing" involves the transfer of power and control from a central authority to smaller, local authorities or individuals. This is the opposite of communalizing, as it disperses power rather than concentrating it.
