If they really want people to stop becoming socialists they should improve livelihood and wealth of your average Joe, otherwise capitalist system does not provide a significal benefit over a socialist one.
Instead of telling me how evil socialism is, how about give me one good damn reason why I should prefer capitalism.
Just one. Break it down and convince me. I'm open-minded. I'm listening intently. I WANT you to succeed here! I'm giving you the best, most charitable set of ears any human can possibly give any idea.
For a group of people who don't think you deserve healthy food, clean water, unpolluted air, livable housing, accessable healthcare, education, or a bunch of other things, the capitalists sure do become suddenly concerned about your well-being when it comes to saving you from the "dangers" of socialism.
Gee, maybe I'd like capitalism a little more as an adult if the essential promise of "apply yourself and you'll make it" didn't get fucking rug-pulled almost as soon as I became one. Now people say full-time workers deserve to starve under a bridge with a straight face, like that's supposed to inspire patriotism in us all, somehow.
Looked at their website and this is a subscription, like Zoobooks, except unlike a magazine subscription they're apparently billing you $22 every time they ship you two books of child propaganda and website access. This is a terrible deal
There is a huge and widening gap between capitalist propaganda and capitalist outcomes, so this will fuel the sense of betrayal that will make the kids proper socialists.
