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?

    A small plot of land the house is on could even count. They key word being small, for example the yard adjacent to your house with your shed that has belongings, with your vegetable garden and fenced in for your dog isn't exactly what you could call shared public property.

    Obviously trying to rent the property out crosses that line though, any industrial or office building, land used for business, land that isn't attached to your inhabited home or used to produce commodities (where a vegetable garden to produce your own food counts as personal, farmland would count as private) etc. If it's for commercial use or is a public space It's not personal property, if it's for your personal use or habitation it is.
