    No. You need labor and materials extracted by labor. Labor built the computers. Labor mined the minerals to make the computers. Labor built the factory that makes the computers. Labor operated the factory that makes the computers. Labor uses tools built by labor to repair people’s houses as a laborer.

    The only thing a capitalist does is own that factory or building or enterprise, and pay workers less than what it generates. That’s the definition of profit.
