There is no real distinction between personal and private property. Communists/Marxists say that you can keep your toothbrush but what if I offer to brush other people's teeth for compensation? It then become the means of production. In the case of your content you are producing wealth for yourself in the form of steem by producing content on your computer. Where you upload it to is irrelevant.

I can go to Wikipedia too
kk, that supports me.
It does no such thing. My initial statement was that your computer is a means of production. Your counter was that by posting on steemit it becomes social property because everyone can read it and no one can change it, except you can being the owner of the account and the beneficiary of all content posted by your account. To produce this content you use a computer or phone that you own. Since we're using wikipedia definitions and it would define means of production as "In economics and sociology, the means of production are physical, non-human inputs used for the production of economic value, such as facilities, machinery, tools,[1] infrastructural capital and natural capital."
your computer would in fact be classified as a means of production. Posting it on steemit does not change that especially since you personally gain economic value by doing it.
I was saying that it does not count as private property. I gain from it and I labor on it.
That concept is from someone who never worked for something and finds it easier to take from someone who has.
