I share your concerns, but you got some doublethinc going when you say that people are property and expect them not to be treated like property as currently envisioned by the population.
The definitions we use are not always identical.
If you reduce life to property you are making a thing out of a life.
A thing to be manipulated and used.
A slave.
People are free, only the ideas we accept are there to enslave us, by design.
You are a soul, you have a body.
Of course only you have authority over it.
If you accept that others having authority over you can be legitimate, as in an owner/wageslave relationship, then you accept that some people should be slaves.
It is only natural that the slaveholders would make rules to 'safeguard' their property, just as natural as your accepting it as the only solution possible, by design.
Because the last thing your social programming in a (wage)slave paradigm is going to feed you is the difference between what you think is freedom and what real freedom is.
The last thing it is going to prepare you for is the ability to be free.
Why do you think 12 years of school leaves sooo many stupid and unemployable?
Because we don't pay teachers enough?
Really?
The choice between starving and living under a bridge or agreeing to let somebody take a portion of your labor's value as a premium for letting you work, not to mention attendance and deportment requirements, is not a choice freely made.
Who chooses to live under a bridge if there are other options?
People that have had enough, that's who.
In my utopia we work because we want to replace what we consume.
We excel because that is how you find suitable mates.
Reputation is everything.
I think you prefer what you have for the same reasons people accept the religion forced on them as children, you just don't know any different.
Not a slight to you, but to the matrix that made this situation possible.
