People who vote for Trump like to blame democrats and woke people, but what they really and truly hate is capitalism. They just can’t see that what makes them unhappy is the natural effect of a fully capitalistic society.
There are other alternatives to capitalism besides Authoritarian Marxist-Leninist states. An example would be Georgist economic democracy. Some policies in such an economy:
All firms would be legally mandated to protect the inalienable right to worker democracy by structuring as democratic worker coops. There would thus be no haves appropriating 100% of the fruits of the have nots’ labor
Communism envisions a society where there are no haves and have nots (classless) and socialism is put forward as the economic system that will get us there eventually. There are criticisms to be made about the method but the vision is good.
Capitalism does what you’re doing here, snarkily talk down to anyone who dares suggest such a society might be possible and is worth working towards, and puts forward instead that there must be haves taking advantage of have nots for society to function and that no other way is possible.
Genuine question, what happens when the populace loses motivation to contribute? Such as the “lie down” movement (yes I understand China is not the best example).

Well, I suppose you have a genius economic system where the haves don’t take advantage of the have nots. Tell us all about it!
(FFS, do they not teach history in schools any more?!)
