    Profit can only be made by exploiting labour. There can’t be any other way

    This is a bad take and suffers from overly-simplistic thinking. Corporations are force multipliers for labor and the economic value of your labor is increased by joining forces with others.

        Profit is created from the output of productive labor. The amount of profit varies depending on the efficiency of the market and the company.

        Companies are force multipliers for labor. The company’s profit comes from that force mulitplication, not by withholding profit from the worker who generated it.
