@georgia @s8n @D00B @LukeAlmighty @MaceDindu @mushroom_soup no it's not. It's call providing value to society so you can get resources back. Exploitive removes the second part.
You can go save a bunch and live in the woods like so many people have done; learn to hunt and all that.
There are cases like "company stores" and other situations that put people in continual debt, but in general, you have the choice to work somewhere else or ask people to pay you more. You can define your own value under capitalism, but it's balanced with what people will pay you, or the risk you're willing to put into try to make a desirable product.
Calling all work to all employers as exploitation is overly reductionist. If you convince everyone they shouldn't work and throw their wrenches into the gears, the sooner they'll have no choice but to do whatever work is given to them in order to keep from starving.
