Yeah whatever, Rarelamb, get back to the pasture and wait on the farm truck bound for the abbatoir. If you are a labourer and a capitalist, then I own a capital and I don't, most of my income comes from selling my labour and most of it comes from profits.

Maybe you like being a factor of production, being forced to labour on threat of poverty, not possessing the things you produce, having to support a parasitical class of those who own and control the means of living. I would rather be involved in the democratic decision making process that drives production to meet self-defined human needs.

Nations are aprt and parcel of capitalism, they are states which the capitalists pay to act as guardians of their lolly.

The free movement of factors of production increasing profitability is neo-classical economics textbook propaganda. Capitalism rewards capital, hence the USA's much advertised 'free market' utilises protectionist policies.
