So... farming is a free gift from nature?

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, natural capital is - soil particularly.

This person is correct. Land and the natural process of nature are free gifts.

[–] ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Close. Farming is labour, which is what gives economic value to the free gifts. The capitalists skim excess value from this process in the form of wage theft and other fuckery.

I'm simplifying, but yeah.
