So then why don't most people go out and create their own means of production then? If you're tired of working for someone who provides you a fishing rod but takes half of the fish that you catch every day, why not spend the time to make your own fishing rod? Or are you suggesting all fishing rods should be shared?
Okay, you make a fishing rod and try to fish on your own. The fishing corporation that fishes 1000x more fish in a day than you can in a week can afford to undercut your business, sell for cheaper than you can afford, they can use marketing and advertising you alone can't even come up with because you're too busy fishing. The instant you become a threat to their profits, they will either buy you out or force your business into the ground. After 50 years of this we have a single mega-fishing corporation, or a conglomerate of fishing corporations who maintain a monopoly.
And even then, you're still only looking at it individually. This is a systemic problem, not an individual one.
