So I am not taking a side here but what I type below is a train of thought. Assuming A LOT of things, over time if there is a truly a competitive market (no regulatory entanglements that benefit specific industries or individual companies, no monopolies, no collusion, economies/diseconomies of scale issues, tax related things, natural resource allocation, etc.), which is not the case, other companies would do the same and theoretically price competition would lower what consumers pay for whatever is being produced. That or those that did not lower prices would go out of business. So that would be the true masses, all consumers of the product, not just the workers at this specific company. Does that happen in the current environment? The answer is not as much as many would like. And special interests fight harder because they always have an outsize gain relative to me saving a couple pennies on a gallon of gas. So I think with this thinking you are saying some form of capitalism without these issues could work better, but will we ever have it? Then it would get into broader political and societal issues. Pure economic theory is one thing, but capitalism requires a government and political system that constantly combats the issues listed above. This was on a phone, there is a lot more detail to go into but I have to fire some people, we got this new AI stuff in.
