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.
And it isn’t.
“Don’t like slavery? Well start a farm picking cotten with all of your non-slaves then! Easy.” - You in pre-civil war America probably.
All well and good, but that doesn’t change how the system in of itself is exploitative (obviously less so than slavery), and we should not allow such strong private property rights. Capitalists are leeching your labor value, don’t lick their boots in the process.
Ok, how do we solve that? More markets? Based on what you said above, that sounds like your solution.
I’m of the opinion that workers need ownership of the companies they work for instead of capitalist ownership, but that’s just me. After all, they’re the ones doing the work by definition.
Can you answer the question? Either one because the latter would at least be funny.
OK, there’s market economies everywhere. Why is wealth so unequally distributed, within those countries and globally?
Yes, but they said it is “the most efficient way to enrich the proletariat”. Market economies can be fine but to place the emphasis on it being the driver is just silly.
And you can be wrong about that last sentence.
You ignore the unequal exchange and imperialism of developing nations the US dominates. Those people are workers too.

There are an increasing number of radicalizing events continuing to happen and it’s only going to ramp up.
That one clan in Kenshi knew what was up.
A tiny minority of people with capital, at the expense of the wide majority of Laborers.
