In short, the accumulation of capital by the capitalist class, profit generated by labour, as labour is the only source of capital. Hence, the working class sells its labour to the capitalist class for a wage, which ensures we'll never get the full value of our labour.

Sounds like a scam to me. Also 'no country is full capitalist' just shows how little you actually know about the topic at hand, yet you remain unbearrably smug in your ignorance. Real lib shit.
