Private property is the capital, the actual means of production. Personal property is your stuff.
The post is about communism. I'm not sure why you would ask about where the definition came from if you already know how communists view property.
Lol telling people to go look up the definitions without yourself knowing the definition is giving Facebook.
The person you replied to is also incorrectly representing his side, but basically you need to also understand what 'private property' is refering to.
The vast majority of communists define it as it's represented in the original meme since they approach communism as an economic strategy and not a social one. Private property as defined by captialist governments only refers to the things listed above like farm, office building, ie. anything that generates capital.
All other communists who don't agree on this definition of private property are also disagreeing with Marx himself as this is his set standard.
Notice a theme of "private property"? Notice how this meme proved a great differentiation between private property and personal property?
Have you bothered to see if maybe there is a difference between the two, when engaging in discussions with communists or communist supporters?
I’m actually attempting to exit this conversation at the moment. I initially commented when I was having a bad day and would rather that I hadn’t.
But that's exactly what this meme is saying
