Are these thoughts limited to comparing the differences between capitalism
and marxism?

I have some thoughts I would like to add to this shaping of a world system
that would work for us as a group of world citizens.

is private property allowed?
I think having a private piece of property is important for any human
whether they know it or not,it ties the human to the earth in a way that
cant be established any other way,it should be a right,if land becomes
inaccessable people become rootless and worthless in the eyes of some of
the more fortunate ones.I think any system we design should allow every
human access to thier own property.

are private businesses allowed in socialism? marxism?
you mean who will we work for,working people work and there will be a need
to continue in some capacity,no working for a private company exploiting
class because they dont have any other way is not much of an answer and
niether is not working.
How would people work for one another? how would a person have his roof
repaired or house painted or maintained.

If we used, say a budgeted economic form,that was based on a census, then
each person would have a value to exchange for anything,it would be work
in the purest sense in that people could choose whom they would work for
and work would no longer be exploitation of a class of people.

Because this budgeted form would place the value of the work on each human
they wouldnt be exploited in the same sense as hiring people to work in a
mine then sell whatever was extracted for a profit,but would be budgeted
members extracting something that was needed by society.
