I've had a knee injury for the past 6 weeks so I've not worked.
My boss has been fine with it and checked up on my several times, I have plenty of money in the bank, very low bills and my house is paid off.

You're a 'serf' under communism at all times but you're a 'serf' under capitalism by choice

If you know how bad communism is, you can't think capitalism is perfection just because it isn't communism. Being better than communism is too easy.

I dont think capitalism is perfection, I just think its infinitely better than absolutely any other system thats ever been put into practice.
Like I said, I have a house, money, cars, everything I currently want, 6 weeks off work, going back part time for the rest of the year, a concerned boss, bills paid, no debt and my job isn't particularly demanding, ... exactly what system past, present or theoretical provides me a better situation? Liberals can't even provide a better one on paper.

The single tax is not "liberal". It's the exact system the "laissez faire" economists were proposing. Classical economists say land is different from capital. Neo-classical economists say land is just another form of capital and deserves no special treatment with regard to taxation.

So, capitalism is better than communism, but it's not free enterprise. We are using the same tax system as monarchs and Rome before the fall. That's why we have so many poor people, so much political corruption and so much environmental waste. But, TRULY free enterprise will solve all those problems. Also, if they don't get solved, we could face a violent communist revolution like France and Russia had.

See, again, no. You can't equate post-industrial government structures with pre-medieval structures. It makes no sense and misses the point entirely on what these words mean.

If the many pay the few for land, it's feudalism or you could call it a "plantation" economy, with slaves and masters (renters and owners).

No, that's not what feudalism is at all. That's not even close.

Land ownership is the difference between serfs and royals. What's new?

Land ownership is the difference between serfs and EVERYBODY. That was the point.

You haven't understood.
