Having a system to enriches the few who don't need more wealth reinforced by impoverishing the many is better than chattel slavery and worse than a system which offers real choice and ownership of ones labor.

- cortic 8y agomaybe. History shows me that, unregulated, our system makes kings and queens that own not only own land and wealth but people as well. If i wanted to make a system that insured the absolute minimum advancement and progress, the absolute maximum misery and poverty, while giving a random few almost god like powers..

Primarily through the construction of societies built around the notion of private employment. Your working assumptions are gross distortions of reality.
