Some people say that profit of companies is actually unpaid labour. What do you think about that?

You could reason that profit is the reward for organizing people and resources together to create goods/services. To benefit the community. You could argue it's a win/win situation because the people who made the profit catalyzed/synergized value for everyone that was worth the money spent, worth the labor, etc. Also it's possible for "profit" to be in reasonable proportion to work put into the company, though it's often excessive.

Because it's usually excessive, and because many people make money for doing nothing, and because of the extreme imbalance of wealth in my country, and because companies don't have to be privately owned, I like the idea that profit is unpaid labor and the agenda it implies.
