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?

    If it is used to generate value by making other people use it by buying their labor, then I'd say that is private property. I think some form, extend of private property is ok. Personal house, personal possessions, a collection of handmade items, even a summer house etc. in my book all these are personal property.

    Not toothbrushes tho. Toothbrushes are communal.

      i see no reason not to share summer houses. it's not like you're using it all the time

        Yeah, definitely. but as long as you're not charging rent for it, it still can be personal property.
