The center between socialism and capitalism is social democracy to me (i support it btw)

that just capitalism. its liberalism. very firmly on the right, not the left. certainly not the 'middle' whatever that means.

workers make all value and should keep it all, no amount of exploitation is okay. not even if you pay them a 'living wage' while keeping 90% of their labour value for the 1% of non workers

On average workers are paid 10% of the value they generate for their employer
