Yeah...just think of all those residuals that the Madonna and child missed, not to mention Monument Valley.

But seriously, labour IS entitled to all it produces. It's the wages system which prevents that from happening...the wages system which is enforced by the ruling class through its police, prisons and legal system, IOW, its State. What socialism is about, IMO, is the reconnection, the control of the social product of labour with its creators aka the working class/the producers.
