Socialist public autonomy shifts freedom’s basis from private property to citizenship.

Evidence

In this counter-model, criticism and control by the public were extended to that portion of the private sphere of civil society which had been granted to private persons by virtue of their power of control over the means of productionto the domain of socially necessary labor. … According to this new model, autonomy was no longer based on private property; it could in principle no longer be grounded in the private sphere but had to have its foundation in the public sphere itself. … The identity of bourgeois and homme, of property-owning private persons and human beings, was replaced by that of citoyen and homme; the freedom of the private person was a function of the role of human beings as citizens of society. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 586
