What corporation is forcing someone to work for them against their will? One can hardly be considered a slave while working for a corporation if they are free to quit.

America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom youve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced.
And in the end, the product doesnt belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you dont care about making a living.
Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.

I am still shocked how any person(not you) who either supports either a RBE, communism or anarcho-communism can be into Bitcoin. It is pretty clear from the design of Bitcoin that the tokens are a form of money

Look, I'm an anti-capitalist. I don't believe capitalism OR the nation-state will have any place in the type 1 civilization we are building with the internet and crypto.
I'm also a realist, and the reality is that we're just not there yet - in fact we're still got a long way to go. Mainly we won't reach type 1 civ until our planet is governed by reason, instead of the violence we govern it with today. So for now, we need money to function.

Anyway I'm not ethically opposed to the idea of money (tokens of exchange). I have no problem with exchange-tokens, they are merely a tool like any other, neither good nor evil, but neutral like all tools.

I AM, however, strongly ethically opposed to the way we have been distributing these exchange-tokens so far, which looks like this and is only getting WORSE:
