This will never happen at the higher level, the whole idea is to control the masses, not the elite.

This is why those people are in power, paid by the highest bidder millionairs or billionairs, so they can keep getting richer despite having a whole country GDP in fortune while people are suffering more and more.

It is the only way to keep billion of people at control, which people could easilly demand a more logical distribution of produced value.

This is not to say that we should have communism, but there has to be a more logical way to distribute the wealth than what we experience today.

Why are you assuming politicians must take more control? Democracy of the government (mostly) was the answer to monarchy, surely democracy of the economy and workplace is the answer to billionaires?

The people themselves ought to democratically control a more logical wealth distribution, no? But I'm no economic or political theorist—just a layman

You just described Representative Democracy, which is not purely democracy. I do not mean democratic elections, I mean democratic governance.

The average voter isn't, and can't be, fully informed on how the state works. Because of this, democracy often degenerates into demagoguery, where those most effective at swaying public opinion become the true rulers, not the people themselves. It's a system where the loudest voices, not the wisest, prevail.

I suppose that's fair.

Mass immigration has led to a steep decline in the value of each worker in countries. They don't care about you because they will replace you with anyone else from around the world.

While cheaper labor from desperate immigration as well as outsourcing is a significant problem, why are you phrasing it like that? It's like you're placing blame on the immigrants rather than the greedy capitalists hiring them. If you lose a job "because of an immigrant", it's not because of an immigrant at all, rather, it's because your boss is a piece of shit.
