    What’s the distinction between owning your home being okay and owning land not being okay?

    The commenter above gave you a very long answer that I think can be summarized more effectively.

    The difference between personal property and private property is that private property is used for its potential for earning money, and personal property is used for its practical purpose by a person to satisfy their needs. You owning a DVD and watching it at home for pleasure is personal property, a cinema owning a DVD and playing it for profit makes it private property.

    There’s no agreeing or disagreeing about philosophy anymore, whether something is used for profit or not is self evident if you apply this distinction.
