The entire video isn't required to understand the argument. The first 15 minutes are sufficient
This argument probably can be explained in a 4 panel comic.
Probably, something like:
1 side: an employer and employee cooperating to commit a crime, which results in both being held responsible
Other side: an employer and employee cooperating to produce a widget resulting in the employer solely appropriating 100% of the property rights to the widget and liabilities for used-up inputs

Yes, I've seen that argument against capitalism as a 4 panel comic in many forms over the past year on Lemmy but I can't find it now.
I think even the Everett True Lemmy has had done it.
I have never found a meme that suitably emphasizes the responsibility aspect. Responsibility plays an essential role in the underlying argument due to the peculiarity that responsibility can't be transferred from person to person even with consent. You find memes about workers deserving the entire value of their labor, but none that emphasize responsibility and workers' property rights to the literal produced outputs and liabilities for the used-up inputs rather than just their value
@solarpunk
You could use those as single panes, and add two below them:
1 - Employee not getting jailed while boss is 2 - Employee not owning any product
