Okay, we’ll I agree with your assessment. But it’s turtles all the way down…
Ultimately every human, and every creature on earth is coerced to work for survival. Thats the only way I can interpret your definition of coercion.
It’s okay to say you want a society where people can feel free to escape that. But that utopia which we haven’t yet reached needs to be earned.
I don’t, and I don’t think anyone has a solution or answer for how to get there.
But as of today, if you want to be free not to work, the only way to do it is to take from someone else who has been coerced by nature to survive and provide.
In the mean time, our society has at least allowed us to provide, each according to our gifts so we don’t all have to be farmers or hunters.
Bettering working and labor conditions should be the goal of all of us in society. Unfortunately it’s not. But as I’ve said in other threads, that’s something that has been and will continue to be fought for.
No philosophy can free any human from that.
