The reason regular-capitalism worked is that all production used to depend on workers bottlenecking the free flow of capital by demanding salaries in exchange for their labor. Now that we've removed that obstacle, capitalism demands workers seize the means of production in order to maintain the status quo. Hence, supercapitalism.

regular capitalism works but now that the means of production are not factories, the workers have to become more entrepreneurial. Then they will control their destinies.

workers seizing the means of production is by definition socialism and not capitalism though, that's the whole idea behind socialism
