Excerpt from Collectivism and Industrial Evolution
But, whilst under a communal régime this margin would benefit all, in capitalist society, characterised by the more or less complete divorce of property and labour, the surplus value produced by labour does not return to labour. It is monopolised under the form of profit by the holders of the means of produc tion and exchange alone.
