Laborer rebels against capitalist system by directly enjoying the fruits of his own labor.

		The amount you can capture by directly enjoying it is crazy. You get double taxed on your labor. Once when you earn it, another when you spend it, and then the people you pay get taxed yet again on that! Plus their regulatory costs of licensing, insurance, property taxes, compliance, the cut of the shareholders/owners. If you just do it yourself... there is no one to tax or take anything off the top. It often ends up you double your "income" from your work or better.

Man didn't say capitalist system. If anything, he's rebelling against what looks more like a centrally-planned economy than capitalism.

Well, things don’t just appear from thin air. Someone has to work. Foraging isn’t much of an option in non tropical regions.

		ok but systems that are more favorable to workers are possible

What kind of silly take is this?

“You deserve to starve instead!!” - is this really the position you want to argue?
