>Right now their business model relies on having their labor bring their own capital. That is really post-Marx. It is a new economy structure enabled by technological progress, and which couldn't have existed and hasn't been predicted until it was enabled by technology and was created by Uber and the likes. In marxism, ie. in classic capitalism the capital owner extracts added value which is created by the labor applied to the capital. In the post-marxism economy the birth of which we're witnessing today Uber, by the owning of the information network, manages to extracts the added value which labor creates by applying itself to the labor's own capital. Marxism economical theory naturally postulates socialism after capitalism with the socialism being the maximum entropy of capital ownership distribution, and that is what we've observed in the last 100 years. These days with the rise of technology that got the post-Marx economy enabled the future driven by that economy isn't socialism, its the new fundamental state of society - the network.
