The structure of capitalism cannot simultaneously be obfuscated and efficient.

Why not? You make this statement as though it's self-evident, as though it's a logical impossibility for a system to be both obfuscated and efficient, but I don't see those two adjectives as logical opposites. I think it's very possible for systems to be both obfuscated and efficient and I'm curious as to why you believe otherwise.

If societal ownership were equally shared among citizens, that would mean private ownership of the means of production and hence a capitalistic system.

Can you explain what you mean by this? What do you think "public property" is if not property that's owned in common by the entire society?
