Well okay, if you think I made a logical error I would like to hear it.

If you think private property is wrong, make the case. But don't just make statements without showing your working out. I don't think that is beneficial to any party.

The United States made its greatest advances when capitalism was controlled by government regulation on one hand and labor unions on the other.

Then...the pigs got greedy. What we have now is hardly an "advance." Unless you think going down the shitter is "advancement."

I'm trying to figure out if you are rational or anti-rational.

If you can make the case against private property I would be glad to hear it. But don't pollute an otherwise productive conversation with bickering.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
