But I think we need to look at labour-theft in a different way.

Consider the Toni Morrison quote:

"The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being".

In other words, often the system of exploitation will take your labour only to destroy it, to burn your own energy before your eyes. No value created, but domination is reproduced.
