Okay, but other species aren't even able to pay to exist. If a human wants them dead, they dead —unless they the property of another human being of course.

They're also at the mercy of nature and all it entails. And nature is fucking brutal.

And they do pay to exist, just not money. They spend their time seeking food, expend their calories seeking more, risk their well-being to defend what they have from competitors, etc.

And that's how we would live too without exchanging money for good and services. It's just a resource, and no species is free from having to gather and manage resources.
