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.

Is housing considered private property?
All types of land and business ownership are considered private property?
Common ownership means state ownership?

If the answer to the three questions is 'no', it may be considered.

@Cierzo Housing can fall into both categories. If you ask me whether people should be able to own the places they live in then I would say yes.
Landlords making a profit of owning property? Hell no

Business ownership yes no single person or small group of people should own a business and the means of production and no common ownership means the people working at the workplace or the people benefiting from land or other property own it not the state.
