Labor, FOSS... can you not imagine anything besides wealthy people creating artificial scarcity to force others to work for them?

Edit: if you don't think this is true, look at the history of truly any country and see what happens when subsistence farmers and indigenous communities refuse to work for capitalists

Labor, FOSS, can you be more specific? All FOSS projects operate within capitalism. Do you think Linux would be as successful as it is without the UNIX root, created by Bell Labs, a capitalism darling, or substantial contribution from companies like Intel?
