With capitalism, we have rich and poor, and everything in between. With socialism, there is only poor -- true income equality! They will look back and long for the good old days of Trumpism.

If you look at the thread on the education gap we don't have "equality". We have a system designed for a class system. 30 years ago you might be able to argue that it was done through ignorance. Not anymore. The system is clearly designed to take the money earmarked to educate kids and instead build up our computer industry. The result is to have a nice looking school that is populated and administered by the poorly educated. That is only true of the inner city, the suburbs and private schools don't get away with that. They are judged by results.
But the inner city has immigrant parents and parents who never went to college and single parent mothers and basically just a whole lot of parents intimidated by school and afraid to respond or lacking the fundamental understanding to respond. So we have parents who will make a big complaint about a kid failing, but don't care that the kids are being given an elementary school education.
So these kids go through this system and then discover they can't go to college, they can't get a job that pays a living wage, and so inherently they know something is wrong, just don't know what it is. Now either those of us who do know what the problem is will solve it, or else these uneducated masses will become the majority and elect AOC.
