I wrote inmy previous post: "Marxists think of capitalism simply in terms of free wage labor, but for a scientific historian or social scientist, this is just nonsense, both because of the different ways in which surplus-labour is appropriated by owners of capital," I did not finish off my sentence. It should be: "Marxists think of capitalism simply in terms of free wage labor, but for a scientific historian or social scientist, this is just nonsense, both because of the different ways in which surplus-labour is appropriated by owners of capital, and because free wage labour (and semi-free wage labour) existed centuries before industrial capitalism emerged.
