I think he was referring to the government owning your labor.
For many people, the government gets a greater percentage of the earnings from their labors than they do.
On tax day you are forced to sign an oath to the government or go to prison. The government owns you and your labor.
“The government owns you and your labor.”
If so, the government can and should put to labor all those who are not laboring in contribution to society.
If so, you can not of your own accord stop such laboring.
If so, you can not transfer yourself and your labor to another organized society, owned as intangible property by the members of said society, in which you don’t have to contribute labor to the well being of said society. If you can find another one.
