I don't aspire to be any sort of capitalist.

Indeed! I don't understand what the point is in living one's life neither in leisure nor in actual work, but instead in acting as a chief of the capital casino.
I'd rather be doing something than allocating somethings.

What, are you so sure about that? You don't want to own property for a living, using nothing more than a legal title to take ownership of the goods and services produced by those who happen to work on that property, pay them less than the market value of those goods, and use the difference to buy titles to even more property? And then rely on the state to protect that property -- with extreme violence if necessary --- all without having to even step foot on its premises? Are you mad? I'd love to be able to do that!
