Any 'pro-worker' policies they adopted were molded by Capital (e.g. having to work until 65 to collect social security).

I think you are projecting Communist behavior on the Democrats. Talk about the elites monopolizing the means of production! Yes, you have to pay some attention on not killing the goose that lays the golden eggs in running a capitalist system, but they gave a lot more power to the labor unions, a lot more jobs, a lot more a share of the wages and benefits than the Marxists or Communists ever did.
