That's what happens when the wealth is shared with those who make it. Everyone becomes a capitalist.

Actually that's just self interest. Both capitalism and socialism claim to benefit workers. But only socialism has remotely shown to do that to any extent. Capitalist hoarding and speculation is the primary driver of inflation and things like the inafordability of housing.

If you labor for a living, you aren't a capitalist. You're labor.

Nah. It's more like the pusher man. Give them their first taste for free, and they'll be a customer for life.
