    I mean, yes, food is not literally free. But there are certainly ways to organize an agricultural society that don’t automatically lead to social hierarchies, and that would be vastly preferable, imo. The enclosure of the commons has been a disaster

      So I went and planted a seed, I took care of that seed, I go there everyday check on the plant, protect against pests and weather and then when its finally ready some random guy just comes and “This is ours my comrade”.

      Nah boi that’s MY fucking plant. Do you want to eat that plant you gona have to give me something for it.

      …and to get something to give me in exchange, guess what? You gonna have to work! You’ll either have to plant something else, hunt, make something etc.

      Just because you don’t like to work it doesn’t mean I owe anything to you

      Edit: I just wanted to point out that work is not the problem. The problem is the economical model, some stupid ass works, monopoly etc
