That’s the result of a disappointingly effective propaganda campaign. An entire generation being told to equate socialism with communism, then using USSR/Russian “communism” as the example of what they should be hating. Entrenching that idea further is being told the complete bullshit falsehood that the successful man is the self-made man, and the self-made man worked hard with no help to get where he is.
It’s really no surprise that capitalists lack empathy and will dog whistle social welfare as “communism”

All of our futures have been stolen because cuntservatives needed a public enemy for their propaganda in the 40s
And they got away with it, they got away with turning the common man against unions and social safety nets
And we are just supposed to accept this shit world we’ve been handed, sucked dry of anything good
