retaining the full value of their labor?
The problem with that is it ignores the value added by other workers.
Think of a product made of multiple widgets. A worker is responsible for producing one widget it. In itself that widget has little value. It is the combined effort of multiple workers producing different widgets when put together that creates the final product of value.
Even the final product sitting there does nothing. You need sales teams, marketing teams, teams that handle transportation to bring the product to the consumer.
Proudhon was ignorant. His 19th century ideas quickly outdated by the assembly line.
