That's actually quite easy: Pay them a reasonable amount for what their non-top-tier existence is worth, and offer incentives and rewards of reduced work or responsibility for good performance.

Problem is, no one would ever adapt this system. The capitalists say "no, they must be motivated by money, not comfort!", the communists say "no, they must work to death in the fields, no matter their prior occupation!", and the fake-communists say "no, that, like, totally throws off my vibes, you know, like, you know?".

Capitalism already adopted this exact system. The problem is that "reasonable amount" is never good enough. People always want more. Every person, no matter how worthless, thinks they deserve to be King. No system is ever good enough for everyone.

Capitalism is the best system, the problem is that most people are worthless so you can entice them to do what's against society's interest by bribing them with offering more than they are worth. That's what communists do.

And this problem is exacerbated when you've got leftists whispering, "see that guy over there with all that nice stuff? He stole it from you." in everybody's ears.

That's how you destabilize a system for sure.

In the old days those guys were disemboweled in the public square as the evenings entertainment, or maybe just forced to drink hemlock like good old Socrates.

Nowadays I don't know what the solution is. You can't stop agitation through legal means, yet they use subverted institutions to cause harm to anyone who disagrees with them harm through social and economic violence.

Or in other words, a core flaw of capitalism is that subverting the system is not only allowable within the system, but simple to do.
