I’ve never heard a single person claim to be a capitalist.
The “people who have the power to repossess your belongings” are lenders.
In most developed countries, employees have pension funds, and those pension funds are likely invested in large corporations including lenders. The amount of money invested in this way, in the pension funds of employees, is far, far greater than that of a single obscenely wealthy investor.
Supposedly the USA is one of the few places where you get paid back what you paid in plus interest earned, whereas here in Estonia for example we pay for the current retired people and once we’re retired, IFF the system still functions, younger people will pay for our retirement.
Pretty much a ponzi scheme that I don’t expect to still be functioning by the time I’m old, we’re an aging society and there’s going to be fewer taxpayers in the future.
Sorry none of this makes much sense.

Where i live the pension is founded by taxes and spent only for pensions, isn’t like that in most developed countries except the USA and a few others?

I don’t really know which countries have private pension funds.
Certainly in countries with an ageing population it’s difficult to fund retirement pensions with tax revenue.
Yeaah, in fact our pensions are a disaster and we do not know if we young people will ever get pensions in the future
