The easiest and simplest solution, and the Danish arrived there in the 1880s, is to mandate/create/promote worker-owned equal cooperatives, institute strict inheritance laws, and wait a generation or two.

With no income from rentierism, the wealth WILL trickle down to those doing the actual work, a meritocracy and 'middle class' will form, and a real democracy will be born.

Well anyway, I'm SURE that all those CEO's will manage to create a company where they can earn those incomes from the own sweat and toil, rather than 10s of thousands of others that they are exploiting now.

Curious that Engels never turned HIS company into a worker-coop though, isn't it? Preaching without action is just so 'biocognitive'.
