     "Tightly Regulated" capitalism is still exploitative because it would still prioritize the accumulation of capital at the expense of workers' labor, which will allow class inequality to persist. Capitalism has to go in order for the working class to escape exploitation.

     We aren't living in an ideal world. We're living in the real material world, and the material reality of capitalism shows that workers would continue to be exploited even in regulated capitalism.

     in an ideal world, there wouldn't be capitalism
     
     exponential growth through exploitation and submission of most doesn't belong in an ideal world

     @lxo Yes. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world. Promise of Start Trek is much farther away that one or two thousand years.
