When it comes to communicating communist ideas I feel like it'd be more effective if instead of saying "private property" we said "remote ownership" or "ownership on paper" or "economic property" or "corporate property" or "for-profit property"
Cuz like what we mean is "you can't own a house you don't live in" "you can't own a business others work in" "You can't own land others live or work on"
And I think in the 21st century "private property" just doesn't evoke that meaning
@shel "private" kind of has the implication that the property is, well, private. If you're not living in "your" house and someone else is then in what world should it be considered "private" to you
@jordyd yes see this is the discrepancy between what we mean by "Abolish private property" and what that sounds like
i don't think most people think of their apartment as the "private property of their landlord" because "private" evokes like, diaries.
which is why I think a term besides "private" to describe what we wanna abolish would be useful
@shel Oh no I think you misunderstand me. I completely agree with you, I was just phrasing it another way
@jordyd oh ok cool cool
