No under capitalism the owner gets everything what you make and they will reward you with just enough scraps to keep working.

Joking aside, bees technically have the freedom to escape captivity and leave their hive. I think that is a spot on comparison to how work and living in society is often made up to be a voluntary choice and we're free to go live elsewhere.
