We are deep into the new economic model. Owning nothing, being happy.
Serfs were not property, but they were tied to the land, which was owned by a lord. The serf had to work the land for the lord because there was no other option.
Slaves were property. They did the work they were told to do, they could be sold to distant places, families could be broken up.
Free people work where they want to, earn their own money, and can purchase “stuff” which is their own property.
Now you can’t really own much of anything. I’m not sure I see the benefit of working and striving. Technofeudalism. It’s no fun being a serf or a wage slave.
Preach the word man! Good post
