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.

Mortal Kombat is my politics
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

I’m very familiar with all of this. I’ve consumed everything from Chomsky as a younger man and studied his work and ideas intensely. If a worker cooperative is formed voluntarily then I have no issue with the arrangement as it’s been created by consenting individuals. But to say all companies need to be worker-cooperatives I do have an issue with. I am vehemently against all central planning, enforcing by power structures and rule by decree.
