you steal my freedom

Input=output.
So once again I, as a solitary man, must acknowledge the political machinery of a syndicate that operates next to me.

You're forcing me to use brain space and time to do so. That's slavery.

We went over this last time. You use a hammer to pound nails. I have sex with it. Bob prays to it. Tom is building a hammer couch because he loves the way it feels when he sits on one.
A tool is something SPECIFICALLY built for the purpose of production.


You can have sex with a hammer but you can't horde a 100 hammers to have sex with when the rest of other individuals needs them.

In a union it would be like buying a vote.
You think slaves are actors?

if I built that/those hammer(s) then the are mine...even if you think you need them, I built them, they are not for you to steal, just because you deem it necessary for your commune

I never knew a hammer could be used for the purpose of production though. I simply like to have sex with them.

There you go again defining the physical articles I use and forcing me to accept universal definitions defined by you (or your syndicate).

There is no political machinery, but there is production.

If a factory is producing a needed (first layer of Maslow's hierarchy of needs) good for the community an individual can help or not help, but they can't stop them from their work.

Similarly the union can't stop the solitary man from doing what he's doing.
