In a free enterprise system, or capitalism, private property is a fundamental right, allowing individuals to own and control resources, make profits, and engage in voluntary exchanges. This system encourages competition and innovation through personal ownership and profit motives. Conversely, socialism emphasizes collective ownership or regulation of resources, often limiting private property to ensure wealth and resources are distributed more equitably among the population. In socialism, the state may control or manage property to achieve social welfare goals, reducing individual ownership rights.
Socialism is based on a different set of property rights than capitalism. Socialism is based on public property and co-operative property in the means of production, and individual property for small-scale enterprise. So yes, socialism is compatible with the protection of co-operative, public and individual property rights, whereas capitalism matches with protection of private property rights.
Capitalism: free enterprise and private ownership Communism: high taxes, no private property Socialism: same as communism)
Capitalism and socialism both respect private property. Communism is a form of socialism where all 'means of production' are publicly owned--that is factories, farms, mines, etc. But socialism itself respects property rights. Capitalism, when it runs amuck as it has in the US, tends to see property rights as being above human rights or civil rights. Because the rues are dictated by the property-rich. But putting property above people is not inherent in capitalism, usually.

Lenin's view toward property ownership was that it had to be abolished if capitalism were to be eliminated and socialism (and later communism) successfully imposed on the society. As Karl Marx had said the essence of capitalism is the private ownership of property. Abolish private ownership of property and you abolish capitalism. One of the very first things Lenin did after the Revolution was to abolish the private ownership of property and vest it in the state.
That's the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. Ever since Obama's election, the term "socialism" has been thrown around and used much too loosely, resulting in any kind of socialist policy to be labeled as socialism. Democratic socialism (even though Bernie is more of a social democrat) is a centrist idea with a small allowance of leftist policy, such as socialized health care and education. In short, democratic socialism is primarily capitalist with little snippets of socialist policy, and is entirely different from socialism.
The traits would be that of property ownership, free enterprise, market mechanism and limited government role.
No, Socialists and Progressives have very different goals. Socialists seek to change the economic system of from capitalism to socialism. Progressives seek to reform the capitalist system to make it more just, without questioning the fundamentals of capitalism or challenging the legitimacy of private property and the profits system.
Communism and socialism are both political and economic systems that aim to create a more equal society. The main difference is that communism advocates for a classless society where all property is owned by the community, while socialism allows for some private ownership and a more gradual transition to equality.
Property crimes are crimes involving property... jewelery, electronics etc. Enterprise crimes are known as "high collar" crimes, in which money is usually embezzled or otherwise illegally obtained. A classic case of this was the Enron scandal years ago.
Libertarian Socialism is the economic system based on equal collective ownership of property. It includes Social anarchism and libertarian Marxism.
