Taking most of the surplus value created by my labor is theft fuck you very much.
Nuts The proportion of GDP that goes to profits is about ten percent. And they earn it. Suppose someone plants trees, and they grow for thirty years, and he or his sons harvest them. Should he not get a return for saving, tying up his capital, and waiting? The alternative to people saving, investing and creating capital for return on capital is that the party creates capital by confiscating from the peasants, and tens of millions of peasants starve. Profits are the return on capital, and the return on entrepreneurship. The alternative to entrepreneurship is the party tells you what to produce, and what you may consume, and we have seen how that works out. The capitalist creates capital, and organizes production and distribution. When the party does it, you wind up with not much being produced, and what gets produced mostly stuff for the military.
