    I think the subsumed argument here is that freedom is given by someone more powerful, that the natural state of non-ownership is equivalent to slavery, and that the ultimate power is the state.

    For property owners, that freedom is given to them by the state in the form of property protections.

    For workers, that freedom is given to them by capital in the form of a paycheck.

    A worker without a paycheck is equivalent to a landlord without property, which is equivalent to slavery. Therefore all freedom springs from property protection, because if the state didn't guarantee freedom to the capital class then nobody would be free.

    Which is beyond batshit.
