Yes, and not only that: it also implies that somebody is deprived of 
the property of the means of its own self-reproduction. Private 
property of the means of production is, first of all, private 
property of the means of production of the rest of humankind, since 
the ultimate product of a mode of production are -human beings!

That is, private property of the means of production is under 
capitalism not a "form of property" but "the form of property that 
bestows on the owner a power of life and death on other human 
beings". _This_ is the kind of property socialism is supposed to aim 
at destroying.

In the end, and from a purely abstract consideration, it is a 
democratic measure to put the ideals of Enlightenment into concrete 
existence
