That's delusional. The vast majority of people lack the economic and social capital necessary to "work for themselves". Instead, they must compete with each other to work for someone that keeps the majority of their output, or risk falling into the ~10% of the population that is unemployed. I won't defend communism, but claiming that capitalism is the best system for workers is very dumb.
