It was never freedom, always subjection, bondage, restraint, captivity, slavery, and exploitation, with a great big side of cruelty to help the ‘freedom’ go down.

Clear, succinct, accurate indictment. Extremely well done.

Wow. This essay is not only scalpel-sharp precision in its analysis but an absolute thrill to read, as each one of predatory monopoly capitalism's many (increasingly farcical) disguises and ruses is blown to smithereens with an unwavering Marxist analysis. I'm sharing this with family and friends - it's a truly stellar piece of work. My admiration for your ability to write as incisively and as luminously as this is off the scale, especially as you're also doing so after grafting all day at your job! Terrific work - many thanks.
