They had "personal property", property that is movable and possessable; chattel or personalty.

But they most assuredly did not have "private property,", ownership of immovable, "real property" by non-governmental entities. Who can own a lake or a sky? Obviously that belongs to all of us.

It's a minor phrasing difference but is foundational to out understanding of class inequality.
