Trade is fine, co-operation is a very good thing, but you should always be able to primarily live from your own means, and trade with others should always be considered a luxury that can be taken away at any time.
We don’t and can’t own people, so we should not depend on them. As you can see, even our basic needs, our basic humanity can be denied.

No man is an island. There’s only so much one can do on their own. I can do an awful lot on my own, but even much of that is because I’m learning from so many others. I’m fairly clever, curious, and confident enough to execute what I’m trying to do but I still need others.
