    There has to be someone without to create the demand for capitalism to work

    I feel like that is generated naturally by pretty much everyone who has money, which is where wealth distribution plays a major role. Even if you work low paid job, there should be (ideally of course) tax cuts, reasonable minimal wage even if your job does not generate minimum wage value (and not too low), bunch of social programs, including free public transport, ectera ectera, essentially making everyone contribute to moving money around, instead of hoarding it or paying only for food/water.

    there is still an imbalance of power between capitalists and workers and that tension means both sides have to be perpetually hyper vigilant in protecting their own interests against each other.

    Understandable, but can you imagine a society without some form of class hierchy, especially when it’s clear some people are naturally intelligent, while others are saved by “water is slippery” sign? It sounds like a society without competition. I get what you’re saying, I just can’t imagine something better and I understand if what I just said sounds controversial.
