You’re suggesting that selling others’ talent isn’t legitimate “earning”? Why?

You’re suggesting that selling others’ talent isn’t legitimate “earning”? Why?
- ceejayoz 4mo agoI'm saying there's a difference between earning and benefiting from.
- jLaForest 4mo agoSelling others labor isn't legitimate earning when you get a higher share of the labors value than the laborer themselves.
- miyoji 4mo agoBecause it's not your labor to sell and if you take part of the proceeds for yourself, that's theft.
- inigyou 4mo agoYou can earn by deploying your own labor to facilitate transactions between other laborers, such as by running a job fair, that's completely legitimate, good, and creates value. You can't just take 90% of someone's wages, or rather, you can, and many people do, but it's theft.
- satvikpendem 4mo agoBecause they believe in the Marxist labor theory of value, where apparently it's theft if someone else uses your labor to make something more than you could make yourself, not understanding the fact that that's not how labor markets and total human collaboration works to make something more than the sum of individuals.
