    I mean, capitalists seem like they would be happy to just have slaves and all the nice things for themselves.

      I would even remove the conditional there.

      They currently own common folk more than people who actually legally owned other people.

      Capitalists at that level transform into dictatorial oligarchs. Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Murdoch, and whatever other foreign and domestic counterparts they have…all similar.
