Dude why do people think communism means you can't own anything. There's a difference between private and personal properties. You can own a house, and a car, hell even a whole farm. What you cannot do is hold capital.

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

I think definition b on private covers what he was talking about

Also merriam Webster is not the end all be all of how language is used

belonging to or concerning an individual person, company, or interest

My car "belongs to [...] an individual person", doesn't it?

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?
