    “This is my proposition: the laborer retains, even after he has received his wages, a natural right of property in the thing which he has produced.”
    -- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

    Ellerman’s modern version of this analysis was first stated in 1984. Rothbard in 1950 saw the employment contract as vital to private property and swallowed the fundamental myth of capitalism that Ellerman mentions. He would include Ellerman’s position on this matter as collectivist and anti-private-property.

      I’m pretty sure I made obvious in the other comment tree that I’m not interested in your takes, and how defensively not-propertarian you insist you are while advocating for propertarian ideas.

      When I say I’m done interacting with you and then start conversing with somebody else, that’s not an invitation to jump in and continue with me. Fuck off.

        1. I replied to that comment for anyone reading to provide relevant context to place the ideas presented within the anarchism’s intellectual history.

        2. Capitalist accusations for having a different analysis and critique of capitalism are not productive.

        3. It is a thread I started, so any reply could be interpreted as a reply to me. I was not sure of the etiquette here. I apologize if my commenting did not align with commenting etiquette here.
