Thanks for the links. I have tried to find a contradiction to my points in the first one but haven't.

Marx writes before democracy. If you control the law, you want accumulation of capital because you can tax it. Let the capitalists optimize society and enjoy universal basic income.

Of course there is corruption. But that's not limited to capitalism although it can be more severe.
