    My point is that nothing is stopping people from not exploiting other people, they are consciously making that choice out of selfishness and greed. They could be content with what they have but there’s always an incessant need for more. I’m not disagreeing that it’s messed up.

      A dictatorship of the proletariat creates a democratic way to use the means of production which prevents exploitation. It is possible to exploit people under capitalism because the means are privately owned. If the means are state owned it can be decided democratically how to use them and nobody gets exploited.

      Read marx! Like actually google marx and read kapital or better yet Lenin’s State and Revolution. Or google On Authority by Engels (this one is just a page long, read this and you can get out of reading the others, report back afterwards if you want!)
