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.

I am a big fan of making the distinction between personal property and private property. Your underwear is personal property, you don't have to fear anyone else coming in and putting it on. The house you live in would be personal property. If you have a garden on the land that could be personal property. But just hoarding unused land like some kind of dragon on a treasure heap shouldn't be a thing.

I think proper allocation and usage of land would be a tricky thing though. We need to escape the problem of the commons. Which largely exists itself due to our culture of forever growth. There are also situations where multiple co-op farming groups might try to compete for the same land. That gets harder to adjudicate if nobody actually owns it. Ownership, for all of its flaws, was originally a tool to help fix those complexities. Corrupt as it may have become, it still servesan underlying purpose.
@ViciDraco Thanks for your comment! I agree

I think when it comes to land, collective ownership and democratic control for the people actively using or inhabiting it without excluding other people in the process sounds like a good solution.
But for those things to be able to exist the culture would need to change towards a less growth oriented society that is not driven to selfishness and that puts less value on strict property rights.

@RebelliousSpirit one other issue that concerns me is that any unused land being free for use could lead to overdevelopment of the land. Being less growth oriented helps there but does not necessarily solve the problem. We would need to make sure we have ways to maintain green and wild spaces.

By your definition what is the maximum amount of land I am allowed to own that surrounds my house? @RebelliousSpirit @ViciDraco
