Freedom therefore consists in the control over ourselves and over external nature, a control founded on knowledge of natural necessity

「権力は別の言葉で言えば自由だ」と、マルクス先生はおっしゃったのだそうだけど、現金もまた自由そのものですね。あたしはそう思ってます。

Freedom

Freedom is the right and capacity of people to determine their own actions, in a community which is able to provide for the full development of human potentiality. Freedom may be enjoyed by individuals but only in and through the community.

Only in community [has each] individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions; only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible. In the previous substitutes for the community, in the State, etc. personal freedom has existed only for the individuals who developed within the relationships of the ruling class, and only insofar as they were individuals of this class.

Karl Marx and Frederick Engels
The German Ideology , Chapter 1d

In capitalism, only those who have money can enjoy real freedom. Those who have no means of living other than selling their labour power may have freedoms, but their opportunities are always restricted. In bourgeois society some freedoms are considered more important than others.

そういう発言があるか、どうかわからないけれど、資本主義においては自由というのは支配階級の人たちしか、自由ではなく、自分の労働力を売るしか生き延びる術のない労働者は、仮に自由があったとしてもかなり制限されたものだ、という意味みたいです。

現金を持っている人はより自由があり、現金がない人にーーー自由はほぼない・・・・わなああ。
