To summarize, this dude complains about Amazon's shitty payout policy towards audiobook authors, then proceeds to blame "soulless communists" (I guess he's talking about Amazon?) and reveal his bizarre an-cap brainworms. Using his own an-cap logic, since labor is a "voluntary exchange", why is he so upset about this I wonder?
