Morphology
The meaning is compositionally built from 'collectivist' (favoring collective arrangements/ownership) and 'anarchism' (the doctrine against state authority), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to an anarchist position that emphasizes collective ownership. This is a straightforward, predictable modifier-noun combination and similar constructions exist across many languages, making it transparently interpretable at B1 level.
Etymology
Collectivist anarchism comes from the words collectivist, meaning group ownership, and anarchism, meaning 'no state' or no rulers. So, imagine workers sharing tools and making decisions together without a boss; that's why the term means a political idea to end the state and private ownership in favor of 'collective ownership'.
