If you're still explaining this after a century and a half - pick better words, already.

Let's all take a wild guess and assume OP doesn't own any property. Does that sound correct?

This is woosh limbo.
You had to crawl to let this point miss you.

I am dumb. Please elaborate.

That's great for academic writings and whatnot, that distinction, but as the common populace's understanding of private property includes both what you would call private property and personal property, maybe, to avoid misleading people or having them reject your cause as something seeming more extreme than it is, say something like 'abolish corporate property' to make it unambiguous to all people, even those who haven't read Marx, what you mean?
The whole point of the poster is to show the common populace that there is a difference between the two.
Rather than create a new term and spend time educating the populace on that, I can just use the term that's been in use for far longer than I've been alive and is understood already by millions.
Also "Hippity Hoppity Abolish Private Property" is already a well known meme, I'm adopting it for further reach. Changing the wording would be a negative.
though, that by using the term 'private property', that would be, to the populace, creating a new term and having to educate everyone on what it means. Conversely, the term 'corporate property' that I just made up, without having to be explicitly defined, is immediately obvious in its meaning to everyone already.
