It wasn't the factory owner who was innovative.
- Did the factory owner build these labor saving machines?
- Did the factory owner design the circuit boards or software powering these machines?
Wage Workers designed and built these machines. The factory owner has a certain skill set. These include administration, accounting, marketing, perhaps economics. But these skills are certainly no more difficult to acquire than those of an engineer or doctor.
The only reason an owner is able to extract so much wealth from his workers is the exploitation of private, productive property. He owns the factory, therefore he owns everything produced in that factory. This is the logic, and I believe we should oppose it.
