Capital And Labor

 
1. "Capital", says Karl Marx,
     "is accumulated labor,
     not for the benefit of the laborers,
     but for the benefit of the accumulators."

2. And Capitalists succeed
     in accumulating labor
     by treating labor
     not as a gift,
     but as a commodity,
     buying it as any other commodity
     at the lowest possible price.

3. And organized labor
     plays into the hands
     of the capitalists
     or accumulators of labor
     by treating their own labor
     not as a gift,
     but as a commodity,
     selling it as any other commodity
     at the highest possible price.
