This year’s New Year edition of Der Spiegel features an interesting piece titled, “Was Marx right after all?” Full of astute observations about the state of capitalism, it’s a piece symptomatic of the anxiety of the ruling class.
This explains the sudden Keynesian shift in the neoliberal sub lately.
They quote a US poll that states 49% of people 30 and under support capitalism. This could be confirmation bias but how many young people have you talked to who have said anything positive about capitalism? I would say it’s about 20% nationwide based on my experiences. I would also like to call bullshit for another reason: When have you seen the bourgeoisie address a problem of any sort when it begins to get bad? Personally, I’ve only ever seen the order given once things can no longer function and change must occur.

Perhaps it depends on the social circles? If you poll a bunch of scions to wall Street capital, I’d imagine they would have a lot of positives to say about capitalism
Yes, and I’m sure official/promoted polls would aim to get real data and not data from a preferable source so as to create propaganda using the “science” as an argument of authority. They would never go that
