Dude why do people think communism means you can’t own anything. There’s a difference between private and personal properties.

Because the dictionary definitions of those words don’t match the way you’re using them.

A car can not only belong to one person, but it can be operated by one person.

A key distinction I’ve heard is: whether a property has to be collectively operated or can it be individually operated?
