Actually, since many leftists find the system of property and contract law that constitutes contemporary capitalism largely but not exhaustively determinative of class/exploitative relations, they have called for the transformation of said laws. Of course, that too is considered mere moralizing ressentiment by libertarians, liberals etc.
