Private property is the employment, control, ownership, ability to dispose of, and bequeath land, capital, and other forms of property by persons and privately-owned firms. Private property is distinguishable from public property and collective property, which refers to assets owned by a state, community or government rather than by individuals or a business entity. Private property emerged as the dominant form of property in the means of production and land during the Industrial Revolution in the early 18th century, displacing feudal property, guilds, cottage industry and craft production, which were based on ownership of the tools for production by individual laborers or guilds of craftspeople.
In Marxian economics and socialist politics, there is distinction between "private property" and "personal property". The former is defined as the means of production in reference to private ownership over an economic enterprise based on socialized production and wage labor; the latter is defined as consumer goods or goods produced by an individual.
Avram Noam Chomsky (/ˈnoʊm ˈtʃɒmski/; born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher,cognitive scientist, historian, and activist. He is an Institute Professor and Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Linguistics & Philosophy at MIT, where he has worked for over 50 years. Chomsky has been described as the "father of modern linguistics" and a major figure of analytic philosophy. His work has influenced fields such as computer science, mathematics, and psychology.
Ideologically identifying with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism, Chomsky is known for his critiques of U.S. foreign policy and contemporary capitalism, and he has been described as a prominent cultural figure. His media criticism has included Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (1988), co-written with Edward S. Herman, an analysis articulating the propaganda model theory for examining the media.
According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index in 1992, Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992, and was the eighth most cited source overall. Chomsky is the author of over 100 books. He is credited as the creator or co-creator of the Chomsky hierarchy, the universal grammar theory, and the Chomsky–Schützenberger theorem.

PRIVATE PROPERTY,
DON'T RUN OFF WITH IT,
YOU'LL BE BREAKING THE LAW.
LOVE MONOPOLY,
MY PHILOSOPHY,
DON'T GO FOOLING WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
'CAUSE SHE'S MINE, SHE BELONGS TO ME,
AND WE'LL GET ON FINE AS LONG AS YOU AGREE
THAT SHE'S MINE PRIVATE PROPERTY,
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
PRIVATE PROPERTY,
DON'T RUN AFTER IT,
YOU'LL BE FACING A CHARGE.
HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE,
YOU GET OFF THE FENCE,
DON'T GO FOOLING WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY.
IT'S KNOWN WHEN WE'RE IN A CROWD,
THAT THERE'S GONNA BE NO TRESPASSING ALLOWED.
'CAUSE SHE'S MINE PRIVATE PROPERTY,
PRIVATE PROPERTY.
HOW CAN I DISAGREE?
