how did the socialist view private property
Answers
Answer:
ust a “normal” place in most socialist societies. Socialism is about collective ownership of the means of production, and not about sharing personal possessions.
Private property as in private ownership of land and factories is classified as capitalism in most socially aware societies and seen as a useful source of tax revenue. (I can explain the terminology further in the comments if required)
In the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ‘- it was never communist) which was about as socialist-authoritarian as you get, there was a clear distinction between personal property and private property.
Personal property gained by working for it was guaranteed by Article 13 of the 1977 Constitution:
Earned income forms the basis of the personal property of Soviet citizens. THe personal property of citizens of the USSR may include articles of everyday use, personal consumption and convenience, the implements and other objects of a small-holding, a house, and earned savings. The personal property of citizens and the right to inherit it are protected by the state.
Citizens may be granted the use of plots of land, in the manner prescribed by law, for a subsidiary small-holding (including the keeping of livestock and poultry), for fruit and vegetable growing or for building an individual dwelling. Citizens are required to make rational use of the land allotted to them. The state, and collective farms provide assistance to citizens in working their small-holdings.
Property owned or used by citizens shall not serve as a means of deriving unearned income or be employed to the detriment of the interests of society.
