Wasn't owning the means of production more about not being exploited for your labour, rather than about owning what was produced?

Seems to me we're moving towards a society where people are exploited not just for the labour, but their very existence. You live to pay rents and subscriptions.

And a few can exploit because of their existence, or even worse, their parents' existence. Maybe we should increase inheritance taxes by a lot to avoid dynastic wealth and power.
