What is the Marxist definition of property and property rights?

• I am having problems wrapping my head around Marxist (as in the writings of Karl Marx himself, not those who came after him) and his definition of property. From reading The Communist Manifesto, I understand that there is a difference between private property (the means of production) and public property (the goods created through that production), but I am having problems understanding how Marx defines property more specifically. For example, is his concern with private property solely that it is in the hands of the bourgeoisie and is what places the proletariat under so much strain, or is there more? The same for property rights; he mentions that the worker has a type of ownership over what they create, but they only receive minimum pay for that item while others get the surplus. Is that what he means by property rights, or is idea related to his alienation theory?
