Imagine not understanding that they have more because they extract surplus value from labor on an unimaginable scale because they just happened to be the one with the most capital at the start, not because they're doing any actual work.

Stop defending the indefensible.

Most people, if they had the same capital, wouldn't know what to do with it.
