Feeling free yet?
Not true! You can also get exploited WHILE dying on the street!
Or just exploit others. That are like 4 options!

There's an odd moment in Attack of the Clones. Anakin and his mother are "slaves." But they live in a multi-room dwelling all by themselves and Anakin has enough free time and resources to work on both a pod racer and a DIY protocol Droid.
My theory is this: in Star Wars you are either self-employed (like Boba Fett or Max Rebo), part of a military or quasi military organization, a business owner (like Dexter Jettster), or... you are a "slave."
Their definition of "slave" ranges anywhere from literal chattel slavery all the way up to anybody who is employed for wages, the alternative to which is dying in the street. Their language just reflects the raw reality that it's only a matter of degree that separates chattel slavery from wage slavery.
3rd choice is kill the rich.
That's just dying in prison with extra steps (deserved).
Nah, you just have to do it at scale. Ask the French, not pussy Americans.
Hey now, you're also free to exploit others. And to really win capitalism, just become the guy that gets to decide if someone else becomes homeless aka a landlord.
And if you exploit others well enough, you can be a person who just owns homes that no-one lives in, as investments.
3rd option guillotine and Vive la révolution
all westerners; especially americans; are too brainwashed to ever consider moving beyond the democrat/republican options.
Liberals will always find excuses to bootlick the very oligarchs which provide them this "freedom" (or "entrepreneurs", the label capitalism deifies them under)
Woods property too
Shite
Ah, the American FREEDOM (TM)
