nobody but your own conscience - except the boss that is taking 95% of your labour. total independence and no male companionship - except the boss on the harness, whipping for more and more product.

"imagine working 18 hours a day for a fraction of what could have been considered a fair minimum wage, and being so trapped in it that there is no time for art, literature or any of the other things that define humans as free. imagine, imagine....imagine being a wage slave."

that's negative freedom, for you. the freedom to be exploited by market forces, and be tricked into thinking it's somehow "liberating".

i'll stick with positive concepts of freedom, thanks - the freedom to exist outside the slavery of the factory, the market and the dollar.

i've been saying this for years: at the core, you're all calvinists.
