something inherent in the nature of labor and capital.
It's inherent in definitions and interpretations only.


I disagree and I don't see anyway to either change or bypass this disagreement. Neither of us is likely to convince the other, and its to close to the core of your ideas for any kind of mutual understanding about your ideas to arise without agreement on this issue.

You could change the words used to define things. You could change the definition of the word capital to include labor, but that still wouldn't make labor the same as capital. There is an important distinction between them, and if you change the language so as to negate the ability to express that difference you don't do anyone any good.
