@djsumdog @Suiseiseki under capitalism you can chose your master, but you're still subjugated to them and have no way to exercise democratic control over the fate of your company or who governs it. you're still subject to having a large amount of the profit you generate stolen by a corporation.

being self employed or part of a worker's collective is only possible for very few people when the vast amount of resources, factories, and land are owned by corporations. ergo the reality we live in is a reality where almost all people have to spend the majority of their waking hours under the command of someone they did not elect democratically. while it's better than feudalism, it is not a free society.
