@tim People living in capitalist societies who do not own 100 % of their labor (per your definition) give up the percentage to their employer so that they do not have to own the risk of investing in equipment / office space / etc to be able to perform their labor and the risk of having to actually turn the labor into something someone else is willing to buy.

This gets confused a lot because of what people in capitalist societies call communism. (politics.stackexchange.com)
Also, real democracy can not exist in capitalist society because the majority of property is privately owned so can not be controlled by the public. (politics.stackexchange.com)
