It's hard to explain why entrepreneurs want capital so much if it provides zero value. They're all stupid and doing something they ought not to?

Because they want to abuse people. If they wanted to provide value they would have found a skill

So they can hire workers. Without whom more capital can't be produced

And why can money hire workers? Its because that money lets them get goods that was produced by previous investments. Without the investor class you wouldn't get large new projects organized. The alternative to private investments is communism, and we all know how that works out, it results in politicians hogging all the wealth and generally making even worse decisions with that money than the greedy capitalists does.

People prefer working for greedy capitalists since it generally pays better than working for the government.

The only reason capital has money is incompetence of our revolutionary ancestors. There is no evidence people with money deserve it. I say, let us at the least take everything they own and redistribute it reasonably, and let us see who the real investors are. We should probably repeat this process every six months or so until society can stabilize
