There should be an economic system set up where all workers get all the fruit of their labor rather than a fraction of it. Communism failed, but there has got to be another way.

- mmt 8y ago> workers get all the fruit of their labor rather than a fraction of it Be careful what you wish for. Risk is important, and if the "fruit" is zero, that's undesirable, too. We're seeing this in a microcosm of the "gig economy" with Uber pushing risk (and other externalities) onto drivers. I believe that was part of the parent's point about running a business and "hassle". I think it's debatable whether that necessarily costs the vast majority of labor's output, as the parent contends, but I doubt it can cost zero, as you contend. I'm ignoring capital (tools or even borrowing money) on purpose, in order to avoid the communism tangent.
