"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one"
~Spock

"Look at the birds: we will see that they eat only as much food as their stomachs can hold. They cannot take more than that; they don’t have granaries. Look down at the ants and insects: that is all they can do. Look at the trees: trees imbibe only as much nourishment and water as the trunk can hold, and cannot take in any more than that. Therefore a system in which people cannot encroach on each other’s rights or plunder their possessions is in accordance with nature and occurs naturally, and that is how it has become a society continued to be one, until trees became abundant, animals became abundant, and eventually human beings became abundant in the world. The freedom to hoard was tightly controlled by nature in the form of natural socialism" ~Bhikkhu Buddhadasa, (Buddhist socialist)

the entrepreneur's role is an abstract. he alienates the worker from the "organizational" process to manufacture "consent" to subjugation via an implied "practical hierarchy" that in reality is not economically practical at all, rather it is a means for the entrepreneur to retain value he has not produced himself.

capitalism contends most people cannot organize themselves efficiently, therefore in the mind of a capitalist, they must allow themselves to be subjugated in exchange for plutocratic benevolence, allowing the rich to consume more than it produces. therefore capitalism is subjugation, not an economic system.

I find that beyond social constructs, politics, debate over economic principles and other noise that distorts our parasitic arrangment with the rich, capitalism is artificial scarcity (and the ideology that compells people to utilize artificial scarcity).

This simple mechanism is the mathematical relationship that plays out between the plutocratic class and the rest of humanity.

Market value is what's sought after; a measurement of value that does not reflect the physical value of commodities, essentially the "profit" that cannot be physically manifested without subjecting the majority to artificial scarcity. Therefore, profit, market value and capital are one and the same; they are artificial scarcity.
