I never understand the distinction between "private property" and "personal
property". Take away the lunch or wallet of any die-hard communist, they
will fight against it as much as a capitalist.

Anything that can be used as personal property, can also be used for
profit. Your home coffee machine is a consumer good. Open up a coffee shop
and it is now a "means of production". In real life, there is no valid line
between personal property and private property, or a consumer good or a
means of production. If I'm using my computer to watch movies online, then
it is a consumer good. If I use it to build web sites and get paid, it is
my "means of production". If I hire a freelancer on upwork for graphic
design, now am I a "capitalist exploiting worker"?

Capitalists oppressing workers is based on long debunked theory of "labor
theory of value".

Labor has no inherent value. You can dig a hole in the ground half a day,
then fill it back the rest of the day, and will have worked hard, but will
have achieved nothing of value.

I have no problem with voluntary hierarchies. Some employee joining a
company in a voluntary way. I have a problem with top-to-bottom enforced
violent hierarchies.
