Respect personal but not private property

Capitalists try to persuade people with the idea that personal property and private property are the same things. As a result, they are unwilling to accept the way the latter exploit others.

Personal property:
• It is a property purchased solely for private
use and cannot generate profit
• Ownership rights remain with the individual
who owns the items
• it is not used to exploit anyone
• leftists do not criticize the concept of personal
property

Private Property:
• property that generates profit by exploiting
people especially workers
• Owned by a non-governmental legal entity
• The labor class gets exploited by capitalists

Private property needs to be abolished and turned over into common ownership. The only way to truly liberate society from the control of rich elites and the private interests of the few.

Karl Marx has arisen from the grave, and is posting in SW!!!

Explain to me why government ownership of the means of production is fair, but individual ownership is not.
@SusanInFlorida I'm more an anarcho Communist but Marx did got many things right.

Individual ownership strips away control of the individual workers of their own labour and products. Why would one person or a small group of people be allowed to steal and extract surplus labour of others. Also we are talking about democratic ownership through workers not about government ownership.

@RebelliousSpirit okay - let's put it to a vote.

everyone who wants anarchists in charge, rather than democracy, say "aye"
@SusanInFlorida not an either/or since Anarchism works through democratic processes 😂

@Graylight trying to censor views you disagree with is the bomb, isn't it?
