      Or, when someone says “abolish private property” they’re not talking about your toothbrush.

      In this context, private property is the stuff you can use to generate capital. Personal property is your toothbrush, your phone, clothes, furniture, bike, car, house etc.

      If you own a second house for rental income, that’s private property. The house you just live in is personal property.

        Yes, they are. Because by destroying the market, you also destroy the toothbrush making machines, and kill the toothbrush makers. Have fun eating the rich, but don’t complain when they end up stuck between your theeth.
