This is a terrible gotcha and shows that you didn’t even read the theory before you thought you could debunk it.

A socialist system would mean that the worker is getting the full value of their labor… that includes your imaginary CEO, because that person is acting as a worker in much of your examples.

Once you recognize that you’re arbitrarily assigning this person as a non-worker, you realize the problem with your gotcha…

You’re basically saying “what if the ceo works really hard, then should he still get nothing?” the thing we’re trying to abolish is the people who DON’T work, the CEO’s who sit on their asses and collect would be the ones losing out in this system, same with landlords. The people actually working the land should own it. “passive” income is what socialists seek to abolish, because we actually value labor.
