Everything you've said assumes the playing field was at one point fair to begin with, really.

Don't get me wrong, I would much prefer a more regulated Capitalism than what we have now. However, what we have now is a result of Capitalism and the power of accumulation it has, as those in power stack the deck in their favor. To rely on good people in government fighting back against Capitalists is to rely on hopes, not plans.

Workers should share ownership, without a Capitalist. Plain and simple.
