> because another competing doctors guild Why would there be another competing doctors guild? Worker organizations become monopolistic just like any other unless you regulate that. edit: > How much labor Labor isn't fungible, you can't replace a doctor with an average person. No two human do exactly the same labor, labor is therefore impossible to quantify unless you simplify it, and how we decide to simplify that is also subjective. Naïve socialists tend to say that all work hours are equal, which obviously isn't true and wont work at all. So then we have to decide whose labour is worth what, and we are back at the unequal society we have today where some persons labour is decided to be worth billions and others barely anything, unless you come up with some new different way to value labour.

> Why would there be another competing doctors guild? Why wouldn't there be? Communism is "the free association of producers." If people need a surgery and I'm a doctor with full access to the means of performing surgeries... It might help to try to break out of the red scare/USSR box you're putting everything into. Nobody wants SLAVERY, BREAD LINES, or HOLODOMOR. > Labor isn't fungible, you can't replace a doctor with an average person. Nor am I advocating for it. You're continually taking the worst representation of a concept I'm explaining and it's becoming tiring. You can track labor as "heart surgeon labor" or "house painter" labor, or "serial concept misunderstander" labor. And, by the way, none of what you said negates what I've said about objective costs.
