Talk:Capitalism

From The Matrix

It would be nice if this definition included something about resource extraction. I don't feel like doing a proper job at the moment, but I may return... The point that I would like to inject in this definition is that the worker's labor is only one of the resources that is extracted (stolen) to benefit the capitalist elite. The worker is just as expendable as the old growth tree, or the mountain loaded with ore. When the land is destroyed it is tossed aside and the same happens with the worker.
