over its borders, inhabitants, and territory.

or control of property and natural resources. According to the socialist view, individuals do not live
or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people
produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good
is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for
the benefit of all its members.
