"Because people start off with nothing essentially"
I do not believe this. In a world without private property, everyone is entitled to the world's land. Everyone has everything available to them. People survive off the land. Eventually these people don't want to just survive, so they begin to do a single thing all day (hunting, gathering, eventually farming) They trade the output of their labor (their wages of berries, food) for other peoples output.
The introduction of private property allows for some people to collect rent on productivity, without actually being productive. Private property is a tax on productivity and rent will always consume any excess production value.
Progress drives poverty, as well as any inequality in wealth only increasing as time goes on in a positive feedback loop.
"While exploitation may be real presuming that management and capital contribute nothing is just plain not anchored in reality."
I don't believe this either. I believe any rent-seeking is adverse to progress towards eliminating poverty. I see it as a failure of society to allow for the upper class to enjoy greater pleasures as time goes on at the expense of those born poor.
We are all guests on a floating spaceship rocketing through space. The idea of inheritance has no place in a free market in my opinion, it should be taxed as income for the recipient. Inheritance is the vessel through which wage equality is growing larger, in my opinion.
