The fact that the majority of us are essentially forced to participate in the capitalist market means that we will always be at the mercy of greasy, compliant, ass-sucking 'bosses.'

We don't have any freedom with work unless we have the freedom not to work.

We don't have any freedom with work unless we have the freedom not to work.

What are you talking about? We have the freedom to not work and die cold and hungry in the streets just like the founding fathers intended!

Capitalism is slavery with extra steps.
