This doesn't work, we go right back to "economy imploding"
The capital class only exists because it can harvest the resources of the non-capital class. If everyone is in the capital class, that means there's no extraction, nobody is buying. House of cards falls down.
We can make it work, don't get me wrong. But not in our current economic system, we would need something novel. And that's really my entire point here.
