Do you mean "private property" or "personal property"? These are not the same thing, and those who want to scaremonger about non-capitalist modes of production

Do you mean "private property" or "personal property"? These are not the same thing, and those who want to scaremonger about non-capitalist modes of production like to conflate the two.
- AlexandrB 8mo agoCan you explain the difference instead of just alluding to some supposed scaremongering?
- QuercusMax 8mo agoYou've never heard someone say "under communism, private property isn't allowed, so you have to share a toothbrush?" I heard that nonsense all the time growing up. Your toothbrush and clothing are personal property. The family farm is private property.
- Atlas667 8mo agoThe full term is private property over the means of production. The family farm would only fall into that category if youre employing others for profit. If you're working yourself on it, there is no real social function to it.
