I always find it so weird when people claim that capitalism is freedom. Like I’m literally FORCED to sell my labor

You are free to starve, but you make the rational choice to submit. This is their idea of freedom.

It's part of the propaganda, if you repeat a lie loud enough and often enough a significant percentage of the population will believe it's true.

This is why....when I want to pitch socialism to my normie friends who have a messed up notion of "freedom" I tell them I want to democratize the workplace. If you believe in democracy in government, then why not in managing the means of production?

Yeah most of the time, if you describe socialism without the trigger words, most people support it.
