    cant spend the money to own something/start a business.

    Of course you can. Why would you assume otherwise?

    Oh, I see now…

    By “own something”, you mean private property, don’t you? The freedom to extract rent is important to you, I’m guessing?

    And by “start a business”, what you mean is “exploit people for profit”, am I right?

      I mean agree with a person (not force them) that they can live on my property in exchange for money.

      Also agree with someone (not force them) that they can work for me in exchange for money.

        So, exactly what I said. Noted. You want the “freedom” to survive off someone else’s work, while not having to work yourself.

        Freedom to me is being able to own your own home, and not having the wealth you created stolen by some absent owner.

            First off, that wealth being stolen comment is about capitalist extracting surplus value from workers.

            Also, the state is forcing me to rent, or otherwise live on the street. I am unable to mortgage due to bad credit. Renting is the only option.
