  2. I AM AN AUTHOR and I have just finished a chapter called "THE UNREASONABLE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROPAGANDA" here is an excerpt: The other way is to literally change the definition of something. Karl Marx was for the abolition of “Private Property”, the definition today of private property is: “Private property is a legal designation for the ownership of property by non-governmental legal entities. Private property is distinguishable from public property, which is owned by a state entity.” So that's everything right? You are not allowed a car, a toothbrush, a watch, a house, a TV, a computer literally everything you own is private property and these dam commies want to take it off you! Only when Marx wrote this all of these things were “Personal Property”. “Private Property” was widely understood by everyone at the time to mean houses for rent, factories, factory machinery, farmland, drug patents, brand names, industrial units, etc. What we now call “Capital Assets”. Karl Marx was not against you owing a toothbrush, but the unreasonable effectiveness of propaganda for 150 years has literally changed the definition for the purposes of demonising communism and Marxism. Now you may not agree with Marx that capital assets should be owned by the public for the public good and not the private wealth accumulation of already rich people. That's fine. But I think we can all agree that not wanting Bezos to own Am-zon warhorses where employees have to pee in bottles and step over the dead bodies of coworkers to keep fulfilling orders, is not the same as wanting to confiscate your toothbrush. It leaves Marxists having to explain ”that's not what he actually meant when he said…” which is a very weak position to be starting a discussion form and it is the exact position the media wanted “the left” to be in when they started redefining Private Property. So even the things we think we know, we are often wrong because the literal definitions of words have been changed by decades of propaganda.
