People have no choice but to work, meaning yes(?). Conclusion I am reaching is that capitalism corrupts labour.

If a person has to work to pick fruit from a tree so they can eat and not starve, does that mean Nature is slavery?

If I can't live unless I feed myself, am I a slave to myself?

If you tried to live on fruit you would die. You need animal protein (or some other means of getting vitamin Bs) and grains and vegetables.Wheat/Rice/Corn/Potatoes/Carrots/lettuce don't want to be eaten. That's why they are full of shit that can kill you that only things like cooking, milling, and leaching can get rid of. Cabbage, even after thousands of years of selective breeding, alone has something like 14 different posions that can end you.

This whole argument is so freaken stupid. You are not a slave because you don't want a lifestyle of living in welfare. Calling yourself one because you work part time in a gas station is an insult to every real slave in human history.
