Like obviously personal property can include hygiene products, firearms, or electronic devices. However I've seen some Marxists say that houses can be considered personal property so long as the land they're built on is owned publicly. Is this a valid perspective or are these champagne socialists clinging to their liberalism?

    I think the line should be drawn at what you personally, substantially use. If you live in your house full-time year-round it makes sense for you to be able to exclude others from it. This shouldn't extend to full fee simple ownership, which would allow you to sell the land at profit or will it to whoever you want when you die, but it should allow you to maintain a home you're actually living in for the duration of your life. IIRC Cuba handles housing like this.
