Can Worker Ownership and Investing Reduce Class Inequality?

People who struggle financially are often blamed for poor choices, while those who are wealthy are praised for sacrifice and hard work. But not everyone begins with the same opportunities. Some people simply inherit or receive a better starting point. Marx and Engels divided society broadly between workers and those who own the means of production. The real question is how more workers can gain ownership instead of relying only on wages. Saving and investing may be part of the answer. Strong pension managers and accessible stock markets could help workers build assets, protect their savings from inflation and earn passive income in retirement. Is that a practical path towards a more equal economic system, or is it different from communism altogether?
