Specifically, one of the businesses Berkshire Hathaway invested heavily in is the BNSF Railroad. Railroads take a
lot of capital - tens of thousands of miles of track, thousands of locomotives (at $2 million each), railroad cars, and so on. Were the employees going to buy all that? No, they were not - they didn't have the money.
So you need some people with money - some capitalists. Do you expect them to work for free? If so, good luck - you can expect all you want, but they aren't investing in your business.
We can have a conversation about how much of the rewards should flow to investors and how much should flow to the workers. But "anything that doesn't go to the workers is theft" shows a complete lack of understanding.
If labor can get the money and buys the tools, then sure, they get the rewards that flow to labor and the rewards that flow to capital. That's perfectly fair. But at that point, they're not just "labor" any longer - they're at least petit bourgeoisie.
