Workers are responsible for creating the output (positive) and using up the inputs including the services of expensive tools (negative). Sure, labor wouldn’t be able to do what they do without invested capital, but this point doesn’t support capitalism. The workers could just as easily jointly work for themselves in a non-capitalist setup with investors still being compensated.
To sell labor, there must be a transfer of responsibility, but such a procedure is impossible @whitepeopletwitter

They can do exactly that in a capitalist system, it’s called a worker coop and those do exist.

What do you mean? When you work for a company, the company takes responsibility for any mistakes you make. If you make a faulty product, customers will sue the company, not you. If you get injured on the job, the company must pay for your recovery. That’s the whole point of a corporate structure.
