    YES! Fucking exactly it. No self-respecting capitalist will ever willingly go along with this. Just look at the clusterfuck the WEF is doing with their great reset bullshit and how even today's capitalists are giving it the side-eye. Enacting such sweeping reforms would require so much gunpoint legislating that the capitalists would probably just perform a coup and magic away the technocratic revolutionaries. And that's ignoring the elephant in the room of the capitalist using their uuuhhh, capital, to simply buy politicians or the very legislative offices themselves and undo the reforms in the first place.

      Reminds me of a point machiavelli made that basically boiled down to never half ass taking someone's powet.

        Defanging the capitalists by asking them nicely to keep their mouths closed and promise not to bite anyone

          Not that Stalin specifically was right, I don't know enough about the specifics of his actions. My point is that either you make peace with someone or you don't and you remove their ability to pose a threat to you. So if someone can be trusted to support you, it's ok to leave them with power. However if someone will always be working against you unless you leave them with an amount of power you deem unacceptable you should completely defang them.
