President Donald Trump has indicated that his main strategy for the 2026 midterm elections is to call Democrats “socialists” and even “communists” at every turn. And there is evidence that democratic socialism is gaining somewhat more of a foothold in recent Democratic primaries.
decline of faith in capitalism and economic fairness
Capitalism has NOTHING to do with economic fairness, you’d have to be brainwashed with strong capitalist propaganda (Republican) to think that.
Only a “true believer” would think there is anything fair in a few people in USA having as much wealth as entire countries!
I would posit that a system that is designed to elevate a few to uncontrollable positions of elite wealth and power is itself designed to malign economic fairness.
Clearly closer to the truth. Which is why capitalism at a minimum needs to be strongly regulated to compensate.
Unregulated capitalism is decidedly evil by default.

I agree! Well said
