Something most people miss is that the speed of change is a barrier. You can do socialism fast or slow, the fast way is like a revolution, which most people don’t want since it sucks for the individual. The slow way, which imo is the better way, is just doing policies that get you closer and closer to socialism within the capitalist framework. The second way often means helping people who are less fortunate than the average person first, before getting to your average voter. That’s what individualistic societies can’t get past, they want their lives improved now. They fear they will vote for things that benefits poorer people and then the next government would come in before it’s their turn. IMO the solution to this is obvious, focus on policies that literally benefit everyone. Don’t do select benefit programs, do problems that help everyone. UBI is a perfect example.

Capitalism isn’t good, it’s just the least worst.

It’s even worse than that, they think the root cause is immigrants, minorities, and trans people.

Almost nobody hates capitalism. Even most of those who say they do actually like it.
