Wow, this thread even existing shows how completely fucking enslaved some people are.

Okay, here's a question : if they take nothing from anybody, how is it your fucking business??
I mean, seriously. Sustenance-level free-range dandelion-farming is a remarkably viable form of life, all by its lonesome. If these people are content, in foreign coin, to place their non-barter luxuries in the hands of change dropped on the ground, and nothing more, then who the fuck are you to demand that they be captured and put to work in the mines, just to satisfy some fucked-up sense of a need for heirarchy???
Seriously. Let them fend for themselves.

So? Slavery and heirarchical systems aren't some sort of God-damned virtue.
If you'd said "most of these people are able-minded and capable of entrepeneurship," well, okay - though don't be surprised if a lot of it ends up in the arts community. But no, you want a heirarchical slave society.
Food grows from the earth, motherfucker. Communists may have wanted to take over the factory - I say, fuck the class drama, just drop out and... eat plants.
There is not some perverse glory in calling someone "massa." If you want filthy lucre, a "job" is one of the honorable ways to get it. It is not the only one. If you do not want filthy lucre - you know, one of those "two masters" of which one can only serve one, as opposed to selling all one has and giving to the poor, trusting in God as the birds of the field, etc, etc, etc, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO MAKE THEM JOIN YOUR SLAVE SYSTEM?!? If they take from none, you do not have an employer's right to tell them what to do.
Wanna know a secret from right-wing economics?
Neither does their employer. All said party has a right to is to post an "offer to pay." Nothing else. "In exchange for," and no one is obligated to take it.

So... kinda like the athenian marketplace?

So... you're a communist.
And a statist communist at that. Apparently putting statism before communism.

Your business
owners won't like that very much.
"That conference in Ibiza was a writeoff."
Now, just to add a response to your equivocation - which... has no grounds, in fact...

Not equivocable. Bill Gates never had a job for the entire time he worked for microsoft. Instead, he had a company.
Etc. And Christian-style sun farmers also wouldn't have an employer (I don't think God has a tax ID - perhaps itself a fact that's sort of a religious omen), or a "job" in the similar sense, but would'nt be "collecting welfare and leeching on the system" either. They'd be... farming free-range dandelions.
So, noooooot even close to equivocable. Bait-and-switch in its worst forms.
But just for the fuck of it? People on welfare have a very important job.
They prevent government expansion.
If they weren't collecting welfare, that money might go towards things like... incarcerating zoklet posters. Or fucking with indigenous peoples. Or starting a war of colonialism with other european powers. Or just building a massive surveillance system.
Their tireless sacrifices of surrendering options like advancement, and the riches which come with it,
keep you free. Fuck the armed forces, when have they ever kept their OWN government in check??
These are the people you have to thank for whatever freedom you retain. These are the only people standing up to your government.
What have you ever done for freedom??
