Ownership is an illusion. The only way you can own something is with military force. And that is only true as long as there isn't a stronger military force waiting to take it from you.

You own yourself.
You don't need military force for that.
(property rights flows from that).
I agree though, that at the most basic level, 'might is right'.
Hierarchies are a very real thing.
I mean even under the 13th amendment you're a slave if you go to jail.
Triforce Slavery
Debt/Tax/Wage slavery are real and unspoken.
The modern chains of slavery are invisible and exist on a spectrum.
Debt is a choice.
Tax is socialism in action, ( theft).
I think conflating 'wage slavery' with 'having to do stuff to live' (just like every other living organism on the planet) is simplistic, and more of an 'ideologically driven perspective', than a 'reality' one.
Yes, we all have to do stuff to live. That is, quite literally, life.
(unless you're a commie - then you can just steal other peoples labor...aaaaaaand we're back to the thinnest end of the socialist wedge - taxation on earnings).
When I say wage-slavery I mean time-slavery. Trading your time for money, and then someone else siphons value off the top and puts it into their own pocket. Sucking time away like vampires.
Debt slavery is not a choice.
Everyone is forced to use fiat.
Fiat is debt.
Just because you don't technically owe money to someone else doesn't mean you aren't a debt-slave. Anyone who holds or uses fiat is a debt slave, because the value can be siphoned off by the central bank by simply printing more money.
There's a reason why usury is fully illegal in some countries/religions.
It allows you to put your identity up for collateral to get a loan.
Just because it's a choice to become a usurious debt slave doesn't make it okay.
They have ways of statistically tricking a known percentage of the population into doing these things.
Yup, I agree with the philosophical point (and fiat money reality).
Central banking and unsound money are results of socialist policy.
