Under wage labor, you pay your employer. You engage in economic activity that generates revenue, all of which you turn over to your employer. Your employer then returns some of that revenue as “wages,” which everyone pretends come from the employer. In reality, they were yours all along.

You do this because any alternative to wage labor was long ago eliminated, through violence—enclosure and colonial expropriation.

If you were to decline to pay your employer for permission to work, then property owners would starve you to death.
