    Profit is not theft either. The point of capital vol 1 is that exploitation happens without any theft. Even an ideal, “fair” capitalism is still based on exploitation.

      Well, yes, but better fit than property.

      Plus at some point on the sliding scale of worker not getting full compensation -> peasant paying 60 % to the lord -> slave paying everything and receiving food as recompense for their labor, you can feasibly argue about theft somewhere round peasant mark.

      Of course its not legally defined theft, cause tools of the master and law in its majestic equality blah blah
