These are so many misconceptions on the thread it is appalling. No wonder we are at each others throats.

Yo state: "Without Labor, Capital would be worthless, you are correct...but without capital you have no labor."

Why not say without "Color" you have no "Red", but without "Red" you have no "Color". It is an equally useless statement.

Capital is a store of labor, nothing more or less. To see them as different is to lack a fundamental understanding of capital, which is quite shocking when we claim to live in a "Capitalist" system.

In fact, you can not have capital without "labor" or energy. Capital is accumulated energy. Labor or "energy" is the fundamental here, not a byproduct.
