Anarchism is against private property, not personal property.
It has no issue owning your own house, car, laptop, etc etc. That is yours and does not belong to the state, or 'everyone', or anyone else. It just does not want rent seeking; owning other peoples' homes and means of production, or hoarding otherwise (eg owning vast tracts of land you do not use). So for example a factory should be owned by it's workers.
- eli_gottlieb 13y agoTrue true! I've mostly just heard it phrased with your personal stuff as "possessions" versus rentiering as "property".
- jaekwon 13y agoAs I understand it, anarcho-socialism is against private (and especially corporate) "property" enforced by a state government in favor of personal "property". What "property" means in anarcho-socialism is still muddy to me. Anarco-capitalism is for "property" if you can defend it, even if it is more than say what a typical person needs for a normal life. Anarco-capitalism would also be for "property" owned by distributed-autonomous-corporations. The only thing that can be ascribed to Anarchism, is the dethronement of a central "state". What you described is Anarcho-socialism.
