> I've been thinking, how does one get free of the wage slavery situation, where I'm at?

Class solidarity and non-violent action. Look at history of 20th century, before neoliberalism took hold.

> How do you accumulate wealth, exactly?

Impossible to do en masse with private capital, since it is by and large ability to command other people. You can increase public goods, this is the wealth that (the society owning it) can increase and benefit from.

People will have to re-learn the lesson not to be so selfish.

I do not disagree on your points, but do on the basis of premise.

I do not believe we're any longer in a situation where people can achieve a critical mass of solidarity (even on the lower bound) leading to action. It seems to me that time has passed, and what public goods or you could say rights we have are on their way out.

It follows that an adaptation, a shift in personal thinking is required. I would have agreed with you in December 2019, but not after the summer of 2020.
