    Echoing you here:

    Yes, we’ve already seen that in every version of “owners taking advantage of labor” from feudalism to capitalism has tended to produce corrupt people at the top. It’s kind of built into that kind of system. People are incorrectly assuming that changing the fundamental system to “labor produces and is compensated for it” will experience the same corruption. Maybe it will, if corrupt people gain ownership of that system, and take it back to “owners taking advantage of labor.”

    But how about we fucking give it a try and see what happens? You’re right; it can’t be worse than what we already have.
