I recall reading somewhere that one early argument against profit was that it's "like rent" which was acknowledged as illegitimate at the time, but this got switched around to redeem rent on the basis that if it's like profit, it can't be that bad.

He was fired of course https://twitter.com/alexnpress/status/1025389851686907906 He's OK with it though quote:So me losing a job is nothing compared to the big picture. If we can get it in our heads that we are the people, and if we make our numbers count, we can change anything.

i'm actually pretty excited a clip like this is spreading so quickly the main thread on reddit where this was posted was pretty drat positive too. I only saw one guy saying "well, we don't know why they walked, maybe the business was being reasonable" and he was pretty much shouted down

Interesting. There's also the whole concept of "rent seeking" which is extracting value without creating value so for instance if Comcast raises rates while not improving service which is possible because of their various local monopolies, that'd be rent seeking. So it's an incredibly negative thing in economics too. Probably because rent is obviously evil.

This is why I've been joking lately about being a Georgist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism You can take the basic concept and extend it out to a general critique of rentier capitalism and natural monopolies (financial, internet cable, etc) and pretty soon you're ending up in much the same place as market socialism.
