Charles Edward Russell was a muckraking American who founded the NAACP, gave up on the corrupt Republican and Democratic parties, profoundly opposed communism (he particularly despised Lenin), and branded his pooled trust/share the capitalistic wealth ideology as: Socialism. The pooled trusts envisioned by Russell were a means to maximize profits and distribute the revenue to the producers instead of the executives. His core ideology was to reduce the abusive concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the elite (aka, the 1%) and share the profits with the producers (aka, the 99%) thus raising the standard of living for all.
Russell had seen the pooled trust business model in the form of cooperatives succeed for farmers in his native Iowa, but he also watched as these small Iowa cooperatives were defeated by the powerful New York and Chicago railroads which used their monopoly powers to control the flow of agriculture to distant markets and thus skimmed all of the profits away from the farmers and their trusts. Russell keenly observed that monopolies and the resulting concentration of power were to blame for the low living standards, and often abject poverty, of producers.
Sponsored by Upton Sinclair, Russell joined the Socialist party and ran for Mayor, Governor, and U.S. Senator in New York. He almost ran for President, but he was rejected from the Socialist party in 1917 due to his outspoken support for U.S. intervention in Europe to help the Allies defeat Germany in World War I. At the time, many members of the Socialist party in the U.S. were either German immigrants or decedents of German immigrants who strongly opposed the war.

The government doesn't organize the economy. They can try and fiddle with it, but an economy is people interacting with each other. You should do some reading, because I feel you don't have a strong grasp of economics.
Do you feel Marx would see replication of the capitalist processes of his day or would he adjust his vision of capitalism and conflict?
Marx would not have changed very much in Capital had he somehow known exactly what would happen in the future, his work on political economy is probably even more relevant now than it was in the mid-late 1800's.
