Being force to work is not the same as the need to work to fulfill personal needs and goals.

That is one key difference between slaves and early farmers.

Perhaps. However, currently, people are forced to work. You need a job in order to pay for a roof over your head and food in your stomach.

This "force" to work is even stronger if you aim for a Helicopter. Helicopters are so expensive, they force you really hard.

I'm talking about the basic necessities of life. Whether you choose to admit it or not, one is forced to have a job in order to provide basic shelter, clothing, and food for ones self and family.

I know what you are talking about, but: The term "force" is utterly missplaced in this scenario. ..also: Most in the civilized world have broad welfare benefits for those who decide not to work.
