I agree on the surface but this is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. There is no such thing as "moral" capitalism. It will always regress back to amorality bc of the profit motive. The issue imo will always be between capitalism and class consciousness.

Government regulations aren't sufficient because Capital always finds a way to work around them or a way to repeal them. Capitalism IS itself morally bankrupt. The workers must own the means of production
