    You are not permanently tied to your landlord, nor is your landlord your judge and president. You don’t usually work for your landlord, either.

    Capitalism is different. It still sucks and exists because of the squeezing out of surplus value. It isn’t feudalism.

    As for economies being lowly tools, they’re not. They’re quite literally the most important part of society. They’re how we eat, drink, and survive. Unfortunately we live in a class society, and have done so ever since a couple of dudes during the dawn of agriculture started racketeering. As a result, “a few thousand sociopath families” have distributed resources in their own favour for a very long time, and will continue to do so until class society and the state are abolished.
