You mean Marx wrote all that stuff, when he could have just said, "Me. Want. Now!"? Why bother with decoding the phenomenal forms of profit, interest, and rent originating in uncompensated labor if you could just reduce it to the demands of a 3-year-old?

And I'm not sure all that many people want to be "free" - of what? not sure (is there some inner essence distorted by nonfreedom?) - anyway, but that's another story.
