They know, if only the US would not murder and coup every socialist country maybe it'd be solved by now.
Or what's the probability of creating one in your lifetime, from the bottom? That's what those in debt are thinking, that's what those without a stake in the profits are angry about.
Yes, that's exactly why unions are needed, there is no way to live in capitalism without selling your work-force, or living out of rent on other people's work-force, by owning the means of production. If an owner wants to decrease wages of their workers, they may only receive resistance if the workers are unionized, as that is the only (non-revolution) way to sort of even out the playing field.
Just a reminder: Unless you're financially independent, you're not a capitalist, you're a worker, lets not fall for the "anyone can become a capitalist" bullshit, as that ignores the material conditions of most of earth.
edit: grammar.
