Gotta keep the reserve army of labor in squalor.

Everyone is afraid to admit that free necessities for all is the way.

The abusers and exploiters need that fear of destitution to drive you towards them and their unsafe unjust working conditions.

The greatest freedom in life is the ability to say no.

It's baffling how often we overlook the importance of negative freedoms, such as freedom from poverty and the fear of illness or a lack of financial security in old age. These are tangible, real-world freedoms that directly impact our quality of life. Meanwhile, we're constantly told that the ability to express ourselves is the ultimate form of liberty. It's time to reevaluate our priorities and recognize the true value of actual tangible freedoms.

Now show a prison under socialism. It's easy to find. Just find a person who speaks out against the government, and follow them around
