Private property is abolished now guys, surrender it immediately but like at your option because there’s no government or police to compel you 🤡

You got that exactly backwards. You can’t “surrender” something that you have no immediate control over (because if you had, it would be personal property. But no one wants you to surrender your toothbrush).

Private property (and capitalism) needs state enforcement to exist.

So, uh, who do I turn over the deed to my house and title for my car to?

How am I getting to work on Monday? And where am I going to sleep?

All of those are things that you personally use, i.e. personal property. Contrast that for example to a house that someone doesn’t use and extracts rent from.

Capitalists made a good job in confusing these two concepts in every day use, similar to how they like to confuse capitalism with market-economy, or try to appropriate terms like libertarianism, which originally meant freedom from economic coercion, not freedom to economic coercion. It’s a cheap trick to make gullible people support capitalist interests.
