Socialist theory makes a distinction between personal property and private property (which is what is being referenced there),
Personal property, you own it to use it.
Private property, you own it to extract value by owning it, necessarily this means you are using your ownership of this thing to exploit others.
Example: your house is personal property if you live in it but is private property if you rent it to someone else. You can see from this that things can change from personal property to private and vice versa.
Owning your own home and having your own space is perfectly reasonable within socialism.
Interesting, that's definitely not the definition of "private" that I was thinking of when I read that post. Still not sure I completely agree, but it sounds reasonable enough.
