From: Richard Tan The notion that the labor of a privileged few is responsible for the output of society is an arcane, little-understood concept in the Marxist literature, usually called "exploitation".
In the apocrypha of that same Marxist literature there are references to some Marxists (now little heard of, and largely thought to be extinct, if they ever existed) who based their activity, known as "class struggle", on a theory extracted from this formulation. Those Marxists also argued that Marx wrote his book "Das Capital" for these aims, but this view has largely been discredited in favor of the modern understanding that Marx was actually attempting merely to describe the dynamics of capitalist economies.
