You are forgetting that you can be enslaved in a lot of indirect insidious ways that doesn't involve chains or swords.
Most people in absolutist societies weren't murdered or technically slaves. But we considered them not free. Also free expression is a basic human right and we should consider private property the same. Of course every right has limitations, but freedom is a whole, either you are free or you aren't.
- pc86 10y agoI agree free expression is also a basic human right - I'm not sure exactly what you mean by private property. I believe the concept is a basic human right but that doesn't mean every person has the right to a specific piece of property unless you mean something like food or shelter.
