Morphology

communalization = communalize (transparent) = commune + al + ize + ation

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ation' to the verb 'communalize' (itself 'communal' + '-ize'), so the process meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Communalization comes from commune, a word meaning 'common' or 'shared', plus the ending -ization meaning 'process of making'. Think of it as making living spaces, tools, or services 'common' for a group, so communalization means turning things into shared community use.
