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.

If you ever have a shop, let me know and I'll grab whatever I like lol
@BritishFailedAesthetic yeah cause that would ever happen. I'm advocating for workers owning the means of production and running their workplace democratically. I'd never own a shop cause no person alone should be able to own a shop.
@RebelliousSpirit Would everyone have an equal share if you ran a business?
@BritishFailedAesthetic Of course but again I would never ran a business alone since all major decisions would be up to vote and any leader position would be up to vote.
@RebelliousSpirit Ok well if the UK operated your model I'd make sure to be an admin or similar position rather than management then, as I'd get the same salary either way!
@BritishFailedAesthetic It would not be the same salary for everyone but the wage gap would be much smaller and it would be based on time, labour value, ... and not based on status or position.
