Property and Use

Marx-Engels offer as a definition of "property": "power of disposing of", with the subsequent implicit definition of 'private' as 'exclusive'. But, 'power' and 'exclusive' are both abstract concepts, and 'disposal' is a special case of 'use'. So, understanding Private Property as Exclusive Use, the abolition of Private Property, i. e. the fundamental principle of Socialism, consists not only in the elimination of exclusivity of usage, but also in exposing Use as the concrete process underlying any concept of Property. Accordingly, that exposure is one of the fundamental features of the transition from Capitalism to Socialism, even if Marx-Engels do not explicitly recognize it as such.
