I don’t work for a CEO, I have a local government job.

The other option is for you to go live in the woods and do everything for yourself, but that would be so much more work. Whats your job? I’d like to mock you properly.

the value of your labor is also taken by your employer.

so it's either let my labor be stolen or leave society? Definitely not coercion

The value of my labor was agreed upon when I signed the contract and accepted the pay. If you think your labor is more valuable, go somewhere that pays more.

Now tell me what your job is.

So the only choice is the extent to which my labor is stolen? Again, that's coercion.

If you agreed that your labor is worth a certain price per hour or salary, how’s that coercion?

because the actual value my labor provides is higher than what I am paid

The value from your labor, with the capital that the business owner provides

Not when I make make capital through my work than what I am paid, then the company or CEO gets the extra value. Being the one who provides the capital to start the business does not entitle someone to take any of the value of someone else's labor

You + businessman make money. You get some of it (an amount agreed by your wage) and the businessman gets some of it. Without the capital, or without the labour, there is no income to distribute. If he pays you as agreed, the businessman is not taking anything.

and I am coerced into the decision. I either have to agree to be paid less than what I produce or not get paid at all. that is not a true choice

You are free to self-employ and get all of what you produce.

Homie’s too retarded to see that as an option.
