it is required of us to lose part of the ownership we have of our work
I hadn't thought of it quite like this, but maybe it coincides with my viewpoint... The way I see it, those who choose to organize production are at an advantage compared to those who did not organize. The latecomer's disadvantage is easily measured by the amount the organized can charge *above* the real Costs of some Good or Service. In other words, Profit measures Payer dependence or disadvantage compared to those who already have co-ownership. We can 'balance' this difference by allowing the latecomer to pay Profit, but then treat that overpayment as an Investment FROM THAT PAYER. This is the way I would concur with your assertion that we "lose part of our ownership". I would say Profit does not belong to the already organized (does not belong to the current owners), but actually belongs to the Payer - but not as a Price cut - as an Investment in more Means of Production needed to move that Payer toward co-ownership needed to avoid ever again paying Profit.
