Sorry, but for a just world, you need a class war. The rich & powerful need the system to oppress almost everyone on the planet so they can continue to profit. No class war would be great, but they are already fighting it, and we will never be free of it until we win.

Musk & Bezos, if you could ever get them in a room, would have no patience to hear you out. They are committed to the notion that they are special and you are a worthless peon because they have all of the money & power and you don't. They would rage at you for even suggesting a change that makes the peons less poor, because they don't think we "deserve" it. They think we need them to rule us.

They have to think this way, because it's the only way they can maintain their position and not be crushed by the guilt.

That's why it's a war.

There's always been a class war, what matters is if Labour is paying attention.
