"[Marx] does not base sommunism on an ethical claim of justice that the workers are robbed of what they rightfully own because they created it."

So, in your universe, what DOES Marx base socialism (sommunism -is that a typo) on? Why did Marx think the labor v. labor power distinction was so crucial? If workers' labor creates no special claim over labor's product, why does this distinction matter?

And you are misusing Marx's retort about labor creating all value, as I earlier said. Repeating the citation's existence doesn't alter the point that nature and human labor are the only two sources of human wealth.
