> the economy is the embodiment of that fact and will just extract us as much as its can forever?
No it isn't. The economy isn't zero sum.
>is it possible to build and own our life instead of being forced to labor until near the end of life?
By "forced to labor", are you talking about having to work for someone else, or having to labor at all? It's clear that the former is possible (ie. start your own business), and the latter is a pipe dream as long as we're not in a post-scarcity economy
economy is reflected by the the decisions of individuals and groups and what they priorities.
Im not talking about post-scarcity economy Im talking about trying to get there, right now it feels we only moving away from it, and the labor we do is not constructive to us or valued very little.
No it isn't. The economy isn't zero sum.
