I love this comment. Thank you. Value does obfuscate the product of labor. If I pick apples and cook them, I have apple sauce. The apple sauce is mine to share as I will. Value points to some form of storage where I can exchange the apple sauce for some other product later.
I find it eloquently said that oppressors can be public and private. People seem keen to trade public for private oppression. Humanity deserves less oppression of all forms.
