      I’ve always suspected people conflate communism with dictators, which is the main cause of distrust for anything anti-capitalism.

      Are there any examples of a nation successfully transitioning out of capitalism without ending up in a dictatorship? I want to believe it can be done, but I have no idea what it would look like.

      The only people who are truly afraid of this are the few wealthy who stand to lose 80% of their enormous wealth that they will never use in their lifetime.

        If only. You forgot how people are afraid to help others who came from an other country. Most of people want equality but only with their superiors. And people are afraid to change their lifestyle to a more ecological one.
