I mean this sincerely; please move. If you are correct, you will benefit the world overall and yourself.

Do you know how much money it takes to move? Lol

I have only read “Das Kapital”, and only by translation. Marx directly asserts the equivalency between the value of a good, and the amount of labor-time that it takes to produce that good on average (accounting for the labor-time that it took to produce tools and raw materials necessary to that process). That is the labor theory of value in a nutshell.

Frankly, this is summary as reductive as Ricardo's initial theory, and not what Marx wrote

If you believe that the scarcity we face is largely artificial, then either move to a country further on its way to communism, or start a company that will pay workers a more equal share of the value they produce.

Lol yeah gonna abolish the commodity form by starting a company. You didn't read capital lol
