    The problem with explaining socialism to Yanks is that you first need to teach them many basic things. The education system in the US is absolutely fucked

      Nah, it’s not about literacy, but class interests and tailored propaganda. People being basically medieval serfs in China and Russia had way less problems with understanding socialism because their own material conditions were resonating greatly and because they weren’t specifically brainwashed all their lives to hate it.
