We are born free, yet everywhere we look we have become servants! Will we ever have our turn to become free again? Heaven forbid! We don’t want anybody to be free! We want everybody to be like us! Take personal power away from everybody so that we are all equal!
When we say all what do we really mean? Society? But is society real? Does it have a physical body? We are its body! But wait, that’s not right. I have a physical body and you have a physical body and we all have physical bodies but that doesn’t make us one physical body! Society may make use of our many individual physical bodies but it will never have a physical body of its own. It is nothing more than a concept, something that exists in the mind. The physical body of society is only an illusion.
The freedom society gives is the freedom of one person from the dominion of another person. One person cannot control or command another person. Only society and the law can do that!
But even if people have become equal their possessions and wealth have not become equal. The poor man needs the rich man’s money so he works for the rich man. The rich man needs someone to do the work so he pays the poor man’s wages. Each one gives the other something that they need. Each one possesses something that the other desires. So what a person possesses makes him valuable to the other. No matter how you say it the things that one person possesses are not equal to what the other person possesses. So they are not equal even though society says they are both free.
But we want people to be equal! The only solution to this inequality is for the state or society to take away from both what they possess so that they are both left with nothing. In this way society possesses the wealth and the labor and determines how much each individual shall have.
