Profit, by definition, is the money stolen from the value of our labor - eviltoast

Sad to see capitalist propaganda leaking in here. But remember the fundamentals my fellow workers.

    That falls apart a bit when you consider that Capital, ie the tools and materials used to create Value by labor, is itself a combination of labor and natural resources. The context you speak of was not created by a Capitalist owning said tools, the act of arranging and managing labor is of course itself also labor, but that labor is not derived from Ownership, nor does said ownership provide labor nor value. It’s separate.
