Labor is always secondary. The primary is the idea. Labor in itself doesn't create anything. Ask Sisyphus if you don't understand this. For labor to be productive it needs an idea to guide it an shape it. The idea is the primary. For ideas to be born you need freedom to think. For these ideas to have the ability to shape labor you need property rights. To create things like the iPhone you must have #capitalism #objectivism

Since the 7th of October #Israel has been at war. But what has changed? Gaza is in the hands of #Hamas #Iran was given an agreement that can only be called a victory.
