Capitalism is about individual freedom and individual responsibility. The British giant Marks & Spencer started as a market stall, Michael Marks borrowed £5 to set it up, it now has revenue of £10bn and employs 84,000 people. He could have bet that money on a horse, but instead you would like to steal everything he and his later business parter worked for in the name of 'justice'. Communism and Marxism have been tried many times, they're supposed to be based on empirical evidence and scientifically based, but the experiment has been tried over and over again and it's failed every time.

I think it's disingenuous to think the only way workers can own the means of production is to take them from someone else.
