Indeed. Freedom to seek rents or horde resources isn't what I'd define as liberty. More like the foundation of exploitation.

- vixen99 11y agoSo don't let's have any enterprise which depends on 'hoarded' resources! Life is, exploitation - eventually bugs and other life forms will make use of everyone's personal resources. This is not to say that exploitation can't be nuanced. People who throw the word 'exploitation' around often mean they and their comrades want to do the forcible exploiting based on their personal moral preferences.
- danharaj 11y agoExploitation has a narrower sense when people are talking about capitalism. It describes the relationship between those who do wage labor and those who extract profit from the product of wage labor. Your sense of the word 'exploitation' is much too broad to be useful, imo.
