People always had private property.
Remember kids: personal property IS NOT the same as private property.
Always seems like a stretch. Not all cultures had the concept
Even then, there’s a difference between having a bracelet or a necklace someone gifted you, versus owning multiple living spaces while others in your community die due to exposures to the elements.
Modern society is worthless.
I don't remember where I read it, but there's a concept of private property vs personal property. Personal property is your stuff you use, like your bracelet or your bowl. Private property is your apartment building.
Rumour has it that some American Native tribes had zero personal property, down to things like tools. The concept just didn't exist, everything was communal.
I'm a fan of sharing as much as the next person but I'm not sharing my toothbrush.
I doubt this rumor. I thought they all had some personal items they carried around like their clothes.
