> i firmly believe that profit is the theft of unpaid labor

If I sell a cake for $3 that cost me $2 in ingredients/electricity/etc. to make, how is my $1 profit the theft of unpaid labor?

labor is entitled to an equal share of the profit. if you're the only one who made the cake, your equal share of the profit is $1.
