I do not agree with the notion of public property (or communistic property). It is a weird, contradictory usage of the word “property” as I know it. Therefore, I believe you can do what you like to your own property on your own property.
Thus, according to the current world, in Case 2 although the flag is mine, since I am standing on a state-owned street, government should punish me if I will burn the flag.
In USA flag burning is legal. According to this US legislation , is it allowed to burn my flag standing on state-owned place?
Im thinking that youre thinking about shouting in a theatre and disturbing people, in which case it would not be a matter of free speech, but a matter of private property rights and voluntary contract.
I understand the right on property.
Person A prohibits debates on politics/religion inside his house.
But, isn’t it oppression on freedom of speech and fascism itself?
How can we justify that right on property should be superior to right on freedom of speech?

Person A is not oppressing you, but is merely setting up a contract: please don’t debate inside my house.
The answer ecause liberterians do not support an absolute right of freedom of speech, but rather property rights. Thus, freedom of speech is recast as a property right. Fully supporting property rights or an absolute right to freedom of speech is contradictiory.
I recommend reading this article to get a sense of the liberterian stance, as rothbard addresses the question of freedom of speech quite well here, including a discussion of the famous “fire in a theatre” example. http://mises.org/daily/2569
Property and freedom of speech are mutually exclusive. Property is a very effective tool to censor everybody. Just look at the copyright wars the content mafia is waging on all people. Their “intellectual property” enables them to silence everybody.
How exactly do you intend to have anyone produce any material in the absence of property?
How is it that the content monopoly is “silencing everybody” and from whence do they obtain this power, with or without intellectual property?
If I own my own property, and on it I can say what I like whenever I like, and no one is allowed to stop me from doing so, and I’m allowed to print or publish whatever I am capable of, be it from my own property or what others allow me to do, then how exactly is freedom of speech restricted beyond how it is necessarily restricted due to scarcity?
In a covenant concluded among proprietor and community tenants for the purpose of protecting their private property, no such thing as a right to free (unlimited) speech exists, not even to unlimited speech on one’s own tenant-property. One may say innumerable things and promote almost any idea under the sun, but naturally no one is permitted to advocate ideas contrary to the very purpose of the covenant of preserving private property, such as democracy and communism. There can be no tolerance towards democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and expelled from society. Likewise in a covenant founded for the purpose of protecting family and kin, there can be no tolerance toward those habitually promoting lifestyles incompatible with this goal. They — the advocates of alternative, non-family and kin-centred lifestyles such as, for instance, individual hedonism, parasitism, nature-environment worship, homosexuality, or communism — will have to be physically removed from society, too, if one is to maintain a libertarian order.
