How so? One can dig a hole with their bare hands and find a water source. If one create some rudimentary tools then the process is faster. If another one sculpts the dug clay and fashion rudimentary sun-dried clay vases you got a way to temporary store that water.
All of that has value and the only "capital" needed were the basic resources of some wood, food, and water, if you stretch the meaning of capital.
Capital cannot, ever, create value by itself, it has to come from labour. Capital can only help the process to be faster.
Even in a potential distant future where everything is made by machines, labour is required, just not human labour.
There's absolute no value from capital without labour.
Please, prove me wrong.

- piva00 2y agoI gave you a clear example of a process which can be started without capital. Don't be an asshole, every single time I attempted to have a discussion on this topic with you you've been a dismissive asshole, instead of some of your more usual thoughtful comments you retract into this dogmatic stupidity. Again: what can capital do without labour?
