The two-party system is not fake, it's a very real inevitability of FPtP voting.

For example: This 60-second animation shows how divided Congress has become over the last 60 years

Ignoring that also turns everything to the right (if not through actual voting, through lower turnout).

Its possible for both to be true. Id much prefer a ranked choice voting system.

What's also important would be to 1) unionize businesses over a certain size 2) convert those businesses to worker Cooperatives

A worker cooperative is a business that is owned collectively by all the employees and decisions are made through democracy (structure depending on application).

Some countries have had programs where unions can buy shares of the company they represent and the government will match it. Then either the union eventually owns the majority shares and it effectively becomes a worker cooperative or the state and the union own majority shares.
