    Wouldn’t they just monpolize solar energy by hoarding the silicon resources? I feel like this wouldn’t solve exploitation or wealth disparities.

      In my opinion, Marx was right about the abolition of private ownership. Ownership is a social contract, and social contracts can change. A lot of wealth disparities come from this system of land ownership that promotes inefficient use of prime real estate through perverse incentives. And an entrenched class of landed gentry will always push a country towards autocracy.
