@jamwil@doyce@pradyunsg These aren't totally incompatible. "Private owners" can be (frequently are) not people who work at the company, just people that own shares. e.g. I bought Nvidia shares, did literally nothing for the company, and made money just by virtue of owning the shares; that's the center of the Venn diagram here.
@j3rn@doyce@pradyunsg I don’t disagree, I’m just pushing back on the claim that an individual selling their own work for profit is not capitalism because that is literally the definition of capitalism.
The word OP is looking for is exploitation. Blaming all of our woes on “capitalism” is lazy rhetoric and I think we can find more precise terminology to address the aspects of the economy that deserve critique.
