I wish we could make a population with even the basic reading comprehension to understand these facts and then people might start taking advantage of our most powerful tool, democratic voting, to make real changes to how wealth is distributed.

That's why Leftists abandoned electoralism a long, long time ago. The system is deliberately designed against significant change in Class society, ergo Leftist theory is centered around organization and building dual power.

But to this day when you suggest such a thing, people will default to images in their mind of everyone being forced to wear grey jumpsuits and stand in line for hours for a potato. We have the technological and productive means now to socialize many elements of our lives that would give everyone access to more resources and benefits and lower poverty and needless suffering, which helps everyone, even those already privileged.

People's ideas are generally a product of their Material Conditions. Socialism may be correct, but people's class-interests largely influence what ideas people accept.

But the capitalist narrative will push back on these ideas to its last, dying gasp, even as the world starts to burn and people lose everything, we will still see people arguing for "job creators" and how the wealthy are responsible for all our comforts, and that the socialist alternative will mean people will never own anything... as capitalism takes people's ownership of everything.

There is a rising Leftist current as a response to Capitalism's decay, what remains is organizing that response and building up dual power.
