I’ve also been on both sides of the line, having been an employee, but also having started a couple of tech startups using my own capital and having dipped my toe in angel investing. I even used to be a landlord (I got better).

The questions you’re asking are basically, how can capitalism function if the workers take all the profits? And the answer is that it obviously can’t.

We don’t want capitalism to function, we want to end it. We want to abolish private ownership of the means of production. We’re socialists.
