Ya know, workers can own stocks too. There's even companies that give stocks to employees. Stocks themselves are not the problem.
Workers may hold stocks, but anyone who holds a sufficient value of stocks is by virtue of such holdings not a worker. Therefore, stocks support the stratification of society into workers, who may hold stocks but remain workers, and owners, whose ownership of stocks is sufficient that they are not workers.
