But again, imagine how much FURTHER along we would be, in any industry, if all our knowledge and resources were collectively shared and available to all. How many systemically impoverished communities are left lacking the necessary resources, simply because it is not marketably profitable for private owners and investors to allocate to them? How much more educated and productive would the population be if public education, healthcare, etc. were as well-funded as any private service, and freely accessible to everyone? How many more opportunities for innovation would there be if it were not for the privatized, for-profit exclusion of information and resources?
There is literally no societal benefit to such a system, other than the personal gain of private owners and their "intellectual property rights" that are nothing but a hindrance on society.
Secondly, the overwhelming majority of workers do not ever see the profits of their own labor to begin with, so the notion that profit motive plays any real driving role in anything other than the investment returns of private owners is ridiculous. Profit motive is only ever meant to benefit the private capital owners that claim the profits; it has no incentive or obligation to benefit anything other than a return on profit, regardless of how detrimental that investment is for the rest of society. It is a blatantly anti-society system and needs to be abolished.
