    The power for capitalists to take such action, like closing down shop and relocating offshore in pursuit of lower wages, is bestowed upon them by government. Do you imagine that the capitalists and the capitalist employment can exist without the government? What is the name of your fantasy? So you tell me that you can abolish government and people would be happy to just carry on being exploited by capitalists, and continue paying rent and giving obeisance to capitalists with no police enforcement. What planet do you live on? Communism is hard wired into the human psyche. Abolish the state and you will find that your property title does not exist and there are no workers for exploitation, and no landlords to pay rent to.

    The USSR demolished the Axis Powers without a private sector, and emerged victorious as a superpower armed to the teeth, with no private sector. You speak a complete load of diarrhoea.

    "It is not because he is a leader of industry that a man is a capitalist; on the contrary, he is a leader of industry because he is a capitalist. The leadership of industry is an attribute of capital, just as in feudal times the functions of general and judge, were attributes of landed property." [18]
