Just compensation to owners is given. The term appears as "expropriation of expropriators (ruling classes)" in marxist theory, or as slogan "Loot the looters!", very popular during Russian October Revolution The term often refers to nationalization campaigns by communist states, such as dekulakization and collectivization in the USSR .
