Funny that he thought that the capitalists need to conspire. It turns out the ordinary folks will try to fuck over each other no matter what. The only workaround is for the ordinary folks to reach a "gentleman's agreement" to not try and fuck over each other (i.e. form a union), but that proves difficult as it means having to not fuck over each other while establishing the union – a cross too difficult for most ordinary people to bear.
