      That's about as silly as saying Adam Smith was a neoliberal. Neoliberals are the primary ones who advocate for stricter IP laws. It's anarchists and socialists who view such laws as an impediment to creative action and one's labor.

      And the fact you don't acknowledge that rent seeking has led to horrors such as the gig economy and the DCMA really shows your ignorance.

      Lol the *whole concept* of the "gig economy" was to attack "rent-seekers", that's their whole ideological selling point What Paul Graham called "liberating potential energy" Uber busting up the old taxicab medallion "cartel", Airbnb busting up the hotel industry's "oligopoly"

      While acting as a middle man that EXTRACTS value from the labor of the drivers themselves. But please continue to lie about the impact of Uber on labor rights (i.e. they keep calling their drivers contractors and fight all unionization).

      Right, Uber is anti-union because they're ideologically opposed to "rent seekers", their whole deal is pushing for low low prices for the consumer by any means necessary

      Survey says... *bzzzzt* Sorry, that's the wrong answer. You keep trying to confuse the issue. Labor cannot rent seek what it is INHERENTLY OWED. You write a book or invent a gadget, you have the book and the gadget. Me making a copy isn't the same as stealing either.

      Yeah nobody has a magic "labor theory of value-o-meter" they can wave over a good or service to determine what the objective amount you're owed is Labor unions operate on the principle that you get what you're able and willing to fight for

      And yet you keep saying their actions are equivalent to that of the capitalists who lord over them. That's my big problem with your declaration. You keep trying to dilute the meaning of a term like rent-seeking to include justified actions.

      No, I said I think rent-seeking is good, it just depends on who's doing it to whom It's generally good when consumer prices go up if it means wages also go up

      When you say "rent-seeking" as a concept is fundamentally bad, however you personally mean it, you're playing into the extremely common narrative in American politics that low prices for you the customer are a social good and high prices a sign of corruption and waste

          I agree that the lower-prices-at-all-costs is a bad principle to go off of, but I'm not sure that rent-seeking is typically the issue, is it?

          I'm not sure I agree unionising is rent seeking in the first place, since you're by definition adding value?
