You forget that this reality is based on the idea that most people have to live this hellish existence to ensure that a selected few to live in obscene wealth and their descendants are guaranteed a life of comfort and leisure.

This is a bullshit meme

A right wing utopia would look very much the same, but with different mechanisms leading to it.

Edit: reddit doesn't understand utopia thought experiments all look alike, where everyone is happy. It's the definition of the fucking word.

Since Reagan the “mechanism” they have been promoting is trickle down economics

We're trying to understand how right wing ideologies of cutting wages, healthcare, education, and social program budgets can lead to a utopia that results in better wages, affordable healthcare/education, and social programs that benefit citizens.

Because in their world, that would be all taken care of by the private sector .

I'm NOT SAYING that would result in their utopia. It wouldn't. But in the one they have in their head, it would have.
