Your use of terms of authority to describe private property owners.
Your sense of entitlement.
Your addiction to central authority. Which is extremely ironic.
All humorous.
Terms of authority describe not just the owners of "private property" or more specifically, the means of production, but the exploiters of human labor for private profits (monetary gain). They're not much better than a fief-lord or little dictators. No one is inherently entitled to own property, much less private property, that can be used to exploit others. A community can recognize the right of its members to own property, while also prohibiting the use of "property" for exploitative means. So a property that is the means of production in a socialist society is always owned collectively by the community. It's never the "private property" of one individual. The democratic socialist state acts as a manager and planner of the economy and the means of production.
What's the state? A social apparatus organized by the people, to manage its large-scale socioeconomic and civil affairs and projects. It's a managerial instrument and source of order.
Communism demolishes the state. Communism is stateless, classless, and without the need for money. Socialism is the process that leads to high communism. Communism isn't born until the consumer has complete control over the means of production. That only occurs with very advanced technology.
What's more ironic is the fact that you pretend that only the state is a central authority and yet see no problem with the centralized authority of private business enterprises. At least in a democratic government that isn't at war (most socialist countries are encircled by capitalist powers, sanctioned, attacked, invaded..etc), we have a lot more democracy, and representation, than in a private for-profit enterprise. When was the last time you participated in an election at work? I've never voted for anything at work, I'm simply told what to do like a slave. No freedom and I have no power or say over what I produce. Everything I produce remains with the capitalist exploiter and king. The fief-lord employer pays me $100 and yet I produce $1000 worth of products. In a socialist society, what the worker produces is more under his or her control.
I don't sell my labor power (i.e. my life), to a capitalist out of free choice. In a capitalist system, I'm either a capitalist, with capital (most people don't have the capital to be capitalists), or you're a member of the working-class. Working class people have to sell their lives to a capitalist, eight, twelve, sixteen hours daily. This silly idea that anyone can become a capitalists (a little fief-lord), is delusional. Should we even be aspiring to become capitalists? Is that really healthy and good for society? No not really.
Socialism is the future, it's what will allow humanity to produce everything it consumes without wage labor. Technology will in the not too distant future, replace a significant % of wage labor, and that will force humanity to adopt a mode of production that is for the purpose of meeting human needs. The new "bottom line" won't be private profits but producing the goods that we consume. Technology will greatly facilitate the establishment of a socialist system of production, no longer dependent upon capitalists or the pursuit of profits. Communists, we're not concerned with the elimination of wage labor. We welcome advanced technology, because it reduces all human labor. It allows us to produce everything that we consume, with less drudgery, work.
