For ages, the American public does obviously not want any kind of social security, because you managed not to fix this basic problem for a number of differend government periods. So we are talking about happily agreeing victims.
Our system as it is set up is explicitly anti democratic and impossible to reform in any way without the buy in of the very officials who benefit from it being so. There’s no solution but revolution, and the people are so trapped in capitalist realism that many cannot perceive that any option exists other than to slowly watch as our quality of life degrades and our rights are stripped away one by one. There are a minority who are against such things as affordable healthcare, but there is literally studies done showing that regardless of popular support numbers for any given policy, there is no effect on the likelihood said policy will be implemented. Conversely, the support of the top 10% for a policy, or lack thereof, correlates directly to its likelihood of being implemented.
All that to say, this country is definitively a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
it’s not very nice to shit-talk victims of exploitation
