How do you implement direct democracy and scale it without interference from the capital class?
You can't. It has to be done with the understanding that the capitalist class will do it's utmost to destroy you.

Which system could we expect to live under that would reform
We have seen all kinds of attempts to "reform" capitalism - from Lenin's "state capitalism" to the US's New Deal to our current "Capitalism With Chinese Characteristics" All of them leaves the door open for the eventual re-establishment of the capitalist mode of production and it's inevitable class domination.
what system would this task require?
We require a system of direct democracy. Some will call that anarchism, or socialism, or "council communism"... but it will all boil down to the exact same thing.
