I provide a service for direct use (forgot the real term).

as an independent worker with my own business I am not an organized worker and have no solidarity with ppl who do the same job. true lumpen.

but then learned about the whole concept of unproductive labour. there is no capitalist who steals my surplus value. true unproductive worker?

what am I?
