# Dominique While there may be exceptions, no capitalist wants to be...

*December 24, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Emily Brown's comment.*

Dominique While there may be exceptions, no capitalist wants to be exploited either.  Being forced to work in order to live is not exploitation, however.  As the comic illustrates, even when there is no one around who could possibly be exploiting you, the state of nature requires that you work if you want to live.  That this fact continues to be true when other people are around, doesn't mean you're being exploited.  It also doesn't give you the right to point a gun at someone, and force them to work on your behalf or to rob them of the fruits of their labor.
