You want to infer more than I am actually saying.
No, I am happy to stick with what you are saying, though your statement is erroneous.
It would perhaps be better expressed as;
Some people don't work, therefore those people cannot be said to be forced into work.
Which is ofc irrefutable.
However, it is also contextually meaningless, especially in the absence of valid examples of those people. It's just an intellectual expression, of no value in the debate. It needs contextual qualification to be of any worth at all.
Why do I say that? Because it simply does not address the fact that the overwhelming majority are presented with no choice but to find some form of job if they are to survive in this system. Ergo, they are
forced into 'work'. It does not address the fact that those who don't work are invariably on welfare, which is not a choice, it is a necessity...They are
forced onto welfare (Save those very small few that find a sustainable way of life outside the system).
Yes, sorry, you are correct, my apologies.
I'm tired.
No worries
*Insert Evil Charachter here* is a man, therefore men are evil.
Do you see the problem?
The defining problematic characteristic of the current monetary system is Force, not Money.
Yes, I do see what you are saying there. Whilst I can see no real reason why we need any form of money, I do agree that the idea of money isn't of itself bad/evil. The current form of money is undeniably both those things though (for the majority and if such a thing as evil exists). Force is but one of the problems with it. The method of issuance once a populace has been forced into it being another. The concept of using money to make money without actually creating anything of real world value being another.
Should those things be addressed and a system of money based exchange be put in place that is just that, a means of exchange, I would have no problem with it (other than I would still be left knowing that any form of money is unnecessary and cavemanesque).
