He thinks the answer to inequity is confiscation or even worse, to remove the role of production from society

Precisely. It all stems from the false premise that capital is separate from labor, rather than the result of it.

What is fair or just about rewarding sloth with the fruits of another's labor.

Communists believe that their system is fair, when it is exactly the opposite of fair.

This is the line of argument that free men should take.

That doesn't make any sense...The 'other' laborers who aren't slothful don't get the fruit of their labor either...

If a group of laborers are putting billions of dollars into the pockets of their employers, that shows the obvious value of their labor...And when the employers turn from millionaires to billionaires while the laborers are making less than they did twenty years ago, there's a serious problem...
