If poverty under freedom really better than happiness under slavery?

Are poverty and happiness mutually exclusive? If one is poor, is one really free? Can a slave be truly happy?

I stipulate that poverty under freedom is the same as slavery anyway and really equates to sadness under slavery.

Versus happiness under slavery this is indeed worse.

Poverty under freedom or more poverty under slavery?
Communists are retards. Capitalism is better.
If you really want to be against capitalism, at least admit that Bakunin is 10 times better than that German Jew

>If one is poor, is one really free?
I don't believe so, no. Especially since some individuals live solely on government handouts.
>Can a slave be truly happy?
And no, which explains much of the misery today.

But OP handed us a hypothetical, IF there were happiness under slavery, the situation is, in reality, the inverse: the antecedent is really worse than the consequent.

You have a contradiction of terms.
You contrast freedom with slavery as opposite conditions (presumably). You also position poverty and happiness as opposite conditions (erroneously). While the conditions of freedom and slavery can be reasonably said to be mutually exclusive, the conditions of poverty and happiness are certainly not mutually exclusive. Thus your question is presented as an illogical contrasts of choice when in reality there is overlapping states of poverty and happiness in both freedom and slavery. A false, illogical dichotomy of conditions that cannot be comprehended objectively.

Look at it this way: You are free to be as happy as you like under freedom but relegated to a temporary experience under slavery

I don't think he's implying they're mutually exclusive sets. I think you're reading far too much into it.

I think that you make a good point though, money doesn't make someone happy, or does not engender happiness intrinsically. Fighting over who gets what only seems to increase pain in some ways. Or to make that a core tenet of one's philosophy seems to increase the divide. Being just and fair seems to be the appropriate remedy
