Equitable positive-sum trade isn't somehow inherently the same thing as exploitation.



I wouldn't call it that, but I think the term does get used in that way: any profit due to my skills is my labour being "exploited" in some sense. (Not one I am upset by).

The terminological disagreement makes it easier to miss abusive exploitation.
