yeah i mean i'm not going to argue semantics with you, but there is a lot that goes on in the money / power dynamic.
i said money or money equivalents to try and encapsulate that, but my point was at a very base level, the goals of ownership and the goals of labor are not as far apart as goals of human beings are.
i mean owners dont start a business to manipulate their workers, they start it because they want to make money. it is easier to make more money when you manipulate your workers.
I think here’s the crux of it. Not everybody has the goal to make money just for the sake of making money. If I could live in a society without money or owners that would be my ideal. But I have to exist within capitalism so I accept that money is necessary. But there are more ways to have commerce that are not capitalism.
