This clip changed the way I thought about wage labor but Chomsky still operates under the delusion that ownership should be shared by workers. Which would require regulation, laws and enforcement of collective ownership. This was where I was stuck as a young man, wondering how such things could be accurately and fairly enforced. Of course, they can’t be.

It's about who owns your labor. Ergo, the Fruits of labor argument, and abolishing human rentals, more commonly known as wage slavery or having a job. And we already have workers sharing ownership and making decisions democratically, across the nation and most of the globe. It's termed worker cooperatives and as per usual the banks are holding them back. Mike Leung on Worker Cooperatives and Financing
