I would ultimately prefer a system of small, local, community managed democratic syndicalism. But, if I have to live in a capitalist world I'd prefer to live in one where the people in power at least try to take care of people.

Ideally, no, it would be centralized in neither the wealthy nor the government. But I think "raise taxes" is an easier path to net good than "let's seize the factories and run federations of democratically run industries in the interest of the wellbeing of all".

I think you're missing that the suggested path is not "let's seize the factories", but instead a return to "distributed charity" like we had before the Great Depression.
