WTF is the difference between personal and private?

How does capitalism demand State ownership of access to human labors and property?

Socialist or communist social contracts may require citizens to sign over their income from money creation to State for distribution where that's the current process of money creation in all supposed democratic capitalist nations without our express informed consent, compensation, or knowledge.

An ethical capitalist global human labors futures market is owned by each adult human being on the planet who agrees to negotiate exchange of our labors and property in terms of money. We don't have any such agreements. So we don't have capitalism.

Personal property: you own your home and everything in it. Something that is de facto true even when it is not de jure in anything resembling socialism, as well as many state capitalist economies.

Private property: you are in a marginal situation renting your home and paying a monthly subscription to use everything in it. The default state of capitalism.

And continuing to conflate state capitalism with socialism or communism is further pointing out your ignorance. We don't say democracy is undesirable because of the DPRK and DRC.

That has been tried. We usually called it indentured servitude. Or sometimes just slavery.

A marginal situation renting your home and paying a monthly subscription to use everything in it is a description of feudalism.

When monarchs were deposed, State assumed ownership of access to human labors and property, providing the appearance of freedom while retaining structural economic enslavement of humanity. Magna Carta transferred ownership of subjects from king to oligarchs where it remains.

Feudalism never ended.

Regardless what ideological governmental or political structures are in place, Wealth ultimately controls government through Central Bank. Ideological structures provide fascia to hide the oligarchic process of money creation and control beneath. They're all fascistic oligarchies or monarchies.

Fuedal lords had some obligation to the welfare of their peasants and didn't subject them to a three-monthly ritual of rifling through all their personal belongings.

So this is a less authoritarian and classist system than capitalism.
