Do you think socialists are out to collectivize your toothbrush?

No, the siezing of factories and large estates is not equivalent to siezing your sewing needles or your backyard garden. They seize these means of production because their previous ownership was about denying people access to the means of production, not because they don't think individuals should have their own means of production.
