ok so after watching Wonka I can definitively state it is entrepreneurial capitalist propaganda which positions our protagonist, the “noble” Willy Wonka, as a revolutionary overthrowing the monopolistic chocolate cabal. Unfortunately, Willy is nothing of the sort. Due to the nature of value and the capitalist mode of production, Willy Wonka MUST exploit his workers to make profit, and if he ran at a loss or just barely breaking even, he would quickly lose to less ethical companies. In a sense, we live in a world where a Willy Wonka cannot exist. This is why we will never have an Everlasting Gobstopper until we achieve communism.
