“Capital is dead labor which vampire-like lives only by sucking living labor and lives the more the more labor it sucks”

Simplified Meaning:
This quote is saying that money and resources (capital) are created from the work that people do (labor). Once this money is made, it needs more work from people to keep growing. Imagine a business owner who makes money by selling products. The business grows and the owner needs employees to make and sell more products. The more the employees work, the more money the owner makes. So, the business, like a vampire, relies on the workers’ effort to continue thriving. This advice can help people understand the relationship between their work and the money they make, and also realize the importance of fair compensation and recognition for their contributions.
