"but you're gonna take my private property !"
I think "private property" isn't well defined in socialist discourse and this idea of no private property gets a lot of backlash from some. A distinction between personal and private property needs to be made where one is used to generate capital in exchange for wages and the other is your dildo. The dildo is your personal property and no one is going to take it. A piece of land can be someones private property when they employ you and pay you a wage to work it - you get payed a pittance and they, without work, take the cream.
That's always the definition. It is well defined, the problem is that there are national propaganda machines outright lying to the people.
