Same thing that happened in every other country where a revolution resulted in public confiscation of private land and private means of production (it was never good).
You can find millions of people who think it was good! Just try to read opinions on anti-"laissez faire" sites. Wink

I would argue that it's unfair for workers to get ANY product, because without the capital owners, no product would be created in the first place (and my argument would also be ridiculous).
Your argument is stupid! As capital owner can be the state, workers' union, community etc who will manage production and fairly redistribute profit among workers, not pay dividends to private shareholders.

Who is it that decides what is fair, what is not, who contributed, and who did not?
It probably will be workers' unions.
