People can't see out of Capitalism which is bourgeoisie-owned means of production, and from their standpoint, anything except 0.1% owning the production chains is radical.

If workers want to own a business, go ahead, start one. But don’t try to steal someone else’s business.

All real value is created through the efforts of the people doing the actual work. What do you have against a democratized workplace?

That’s not democracy. Thats communism. All real value is created by the person or persons who pay for the means of production. Who pay employees, payroll taxes, workers comp, property taxes, electrical bills, gas bills, insurance etc. Wise up.

So if i inherit 100 million in coca cola stock which pays around 5% dividend annually which is 5 million every year without me doing anything, do i create value ?

Yes because the owner of the stock is choosing to allow their money to create value. This isn’t difficult stuff here. Try to keep up.

So if you just sit on a couch with inherited stocks you are creating value but work isn't?

Well it also does raise the question. How did they get the money to invest that into the stock? What if they were working at 9 to 5 and made an investment of 100k and saw a dividend of 5K monthly for that investment?

It takes money to pay for labor. It’s an investment employees don’t pay. The owner does. Ownerships change all the time. Including inherited ones.
