There's a distinction between personal property and private property. My house, bed, toothbrush, and computer aren't private property, they're personal property.
No, you're just being obtuse for the sake of making an argument.

Not even remotely. Political thinkers have been making that distinction since the 19th century. Go back to the 18th century and people generally wouldn't even have used the term "property" to refer to things other than land.
No, I'm making a point that is well-accepted in political philosophy.
Would you be okay with having random people just entering your house, sleeping in your bed, using your toothbrush and then taking your computer on the way out?
Obvious straw-man, but my point is: There's got to be _some portion_ of the system of private property that you agree with on some level. You might for instance disagree with the way private property is distributed, or how access to it is made difficult for some groups, or how we value it more than public property. You might be in favor of more taxation, or of “fairer” taxation (whatever that actually entails would be hard for everyone to agree with) or of revamped eminent domain laws, but I find it really hard to believe that you'd hope for the entire system of private property to be abolished within your lifetime.
