    There are 100% people that live under capitalism and don’t work, but don’t ever have to worry about starving.

    There are people who get unfairly given more profit than they work for.

    There are people who unfairly get less of the profits than they deserve.

    I’m saying it should be fairly distributed by the workers. You’re pretending it isn’t an issue.

    I’m explicitly saying he should not profit from the others labor. I’m explicitly saying they should be fairly compensated for their labor.

    No. If he’s still working beside them (like you said in your example), then his labor is making the value. He is entitled to that value.

    It’s impossible to “make” value from someone else’s labor. The person doing the labor created the value.

    Your example also isn’t them voluntarily working for him. You said in your example that it was either work for him or starve.

    If he’s not and he’s sitting doing nothing - creating no value - then he gets nothing.
