    eventual overpowering of Capitalists at the hands of Unions

    Can you elaborate a bit on this? How do unions “take over”, and what sort of new system would they put in place? Every company is now a co-op? How does investment work? How do we do retirement for workers?

      Depends! Could be via mass worker general strikes, or purchasing Capital. It would happen on an industry by industry basis, forming a syndicate of industries owned and run by workers within each industry. Individual companies would likely become entities of the industry, which would be entities of the syndicate. Investment is handled by worker discretion, democratically decided. Retirement works like pensions, typically. Eventually a more advanced form of Socialism would take place, and then eventually Communism.
