“I want to own the means of production.”

You DO!
You own yourself; you own the fruit of your time and effort.

If you work for someone or some business, you *voluntarily* chose to trade your time and effort for whatever the deal was. YOU got to choose, because you own yourself. The business got to choose who to hire, because the owners also own themselves and are free to voluntarily trade with whom they choose.

There is no infringement of property rights within voluntary trade.

You own yourself. You own the fruit of your labor. You own the ‘means of production.’
(I just happen to think this is a dumb term, since it is usually used to refer to arbitrary nonsense that a person FeEls entitled to)

MoneRogue says it well — voluntary trade creates wealth


The best way to help the working poor is not by printing a bunch of money or welfare entitlements. It's by the formation of wealth.

Wealth is not the amount of money someone has to their name. Rather, it is the amount of goods and services available to the population. The greater wealth, the better.

And how do you get wealth? Through free trade, free markets, free immigration, and the private ownership of the means of production. Y'know, the very things the statists don't like.
