Socialism isn’t rising because capitalism failed. It’s rising because capitalism succeeded so well that people forgot what failure looks like.
Capitalism created prosperity, comfort, innovation, and freedom on a scale humanity had never seen. And now, ironically, people raised in that prosperity feel entitled to it, as if it just happens by default, like oxygen.
They complain about capitalism on smartphones built by global supply chains, sipping coffee from international markets, enjoying comforts previous generations couldn’t dream of. Their misery is often spiritual or existential, not material. But instead of confronting that, they blame the very system that gave them the luxury to whine.
So yes, capitalism created the good times. The good times bred complacency. And complacency gave rise to people too soft and resentful to recognize that their solution, socialism, is the very thing that ends the good times.
Capitalism made them free enough to choose. Socialism is them choosing chains, thinking it’s a hug.
