Private property as ownership is unjust according to e.g., Proudhon. Growing a piece of land and reaping the fruits of your labor is different from having a piece of land(/shares of a company/...) and benefiting from the work others do on that land.

Not saying that I agree with that, just presenting a different point of view.
