Poverty, Control, and Capitalism

"Also, "profits" do not exist in a vacuum. Profits exist to be an incentive to employers to employ people, "

other way around m8, the owners need the workers for a profit while the workers don't need the owner to work. (Under capitalism, all they need is the permission, they still have the ability either way)

I never said that owners don't need workers. I just said that the profits are the incentive they have to employ them. I think you misunderstood me. And yes, technically workers don't need owners to work. But then, how would they get paid?

'But then, how would they get paid?"

the money the capitalist pays the workers doesn't come out of nowhere, the workers themselves produce their own wage and a massive profit on top of that. Without an owner the workers would get what they produce, which is far more than their wage.

The owner is only paid because he has control. They are thieves and leeches
