I agree 100%. But precisely because of that, exploitation is not about the relation between individual worker and individual capitalist: it concerns the entirety of the cycle of accumulation. Even if workers fulfilled their part of their purpose of the capitalist, doesn't mean value is produced

If exploit means used for one's own purpose - yes, if exploit means using lab pow to produce value, than if a comm is not sold, no value is produced. Doesn’t mean everything’s cool for workers: my point is we need a non phenomenological idea of exploit to understand its specificity in capitalism
