Short of a windfall or fanciful ideas of starting my own business (and then having to work even harder), I'm still a wage slave who needs to keep doing what the man asks of me so he will give me my monthly stipend

That may be true for the individual, but the man can be kicked to the curb at any time with ease if the workers collectively decide to.

We're still working this hard because we, collectively, want to. Simple as that.

True but pointless. The group can want things none of its constituents want.

True but pointless. The wants of the constituents is outside of the discussion. Explicitly so.
