I got into an argument about guns and my reasoning is guns, cars, and houses can be either personal and private property. For example, someone in a communist militia who owns a gun for the benefit of the militia would be owning that gun personally, while someone who is in a reactionary militia or hordes guns for their value would own those guns privately. Same thing for a house or car. If you own either of those out of necessity it's personal property while if you own either of these things not because you need them then it's private property. I think the intent of ownership is very important, I think a toothbrush could be private property if your hoarding them to sell. Does anyone get what I'm saying? Can we keep the discussion related to guns since that's where this question came up.

    Personally I think the concept of property is fluid, it's a social construct and there's many different types of it. Private, public, personal, communal, single use, non physical, currency, rations, reparations, land, automobiles, taxes, ect. I don't have the patience to list them all. I may just have to write a very poorly worded post about it later.

        Can you think of a situation when they are not mutually exclusive? Mutually exclusive means they don't intersect, can they intersect? I can think of the line being blurred or possibly being something else entirely.
