Alright, I am wrapping this up because you do not know what the words mean well enough to keep going.
You keep flattening labor, trade, ownership, rent, wages, profit, and command into one blob called “effort.”
That is the whole problem.
Someone worked to build the house. Correct.
That does not mean the landlord personally produces shelter every month by owning the deed.
Builders worked. Plumbers worked. Electricians worked. Roofers worked. Road crews worked. Utility workers worked. The surrounding infrastructure and community make that house livable.
If the landlord repairs, maintains, cleans, upgrades, or manages the property, that is labor. Pay for labor.
But ownership itself is not labor.
A deed does not swing a hammer.
Same with the workplace.
Someone may have worked to start a shop or build a company. Fine. Nobody denied that.
But once the relation becomes “I own the workplace, I control the books, I set the terms, I own the product, and I keep the surplus because other people need wages to live,” we are no longer just talking about someone’s past effort.
We are talking about ownership as command.
Workers labor. Builders built the building. Supply chains supply it. Public roads, schools, utilities, courts, standards, and infrastructure make it usable. The owner’s special power is not “work exists.” The owner’s special power is “I own the gate.”
Working with other people is normal.
Coordination is normal.
Trade is normal.
Money can exist.
Markets can exist.
Collective production can exist.
None of that requires boss rule, landlordism, wage dependence, rent extraction, or a class of owners standing above everyone else because they control access.
“Working for wages” is not the exact same thing as hunting and fishing for yourself in the wild.
Labor is a human necessity.
Wage labor is a social relation.
You keep pretending those are identical because if you admit the difference, your argument collapses.
I do not hate working with other people.
I hate the ownership relation where other people’s access to life becomes someone else’s income stream.
You keep calling that “effort” because calling it title, rent, profit, and command makes it look a lot less noble.
"I do not oppose trade."
You literally do. You oppose trading shelter for money (landlords), trading labour for money (employers), etc.
