Voter demographics in the wave of Democratic Socialist and socialistic candidates being elected in Democrat primaries not surprisingly includes the idealistic young, and those finding difficulty attaining their goals and expectations in a free-market society.\u00a0 But why would affluent, educated progressives who have achieved success in that very same free-market society also be so strongly in support of candidates who vow to wreak vengeance upon it?\u00a0 Are they not part of the oppressive capitalistic system that seeks to subjugate the \u201cworking class\u201d?\u00a0 Are they motivated by guilt?<\/p>\n

No.\u00a0 They are not.\u00a0 Most affluent progressives opportunistically achieve success in our free-market system in the pursuit of anti-capitalistic, not capitalistic, endeavors.\u00a0 They populate careers primarily in media, entertainment, academia, NGO\u2019s, government, public service, law, and technology.\u00a0 They have dedicated their careers to advancing the common good and bringing down the \u201csystem\u201d which subjugates the \u201coppressed.\u201d\u00a0 And if they become affluent in the process, it\u2019s all for the attainment of \u201csocial justice\u201d!<\/p>\n

Progressive leftists find the social structure to be dominated by threatening oppressive forces \u2014 racism, patriarchy, misogyny, capitalistic greed, xenophobia.\u00a0 Their insecurities lead them in two major directions.\u00a0 They can wallow in sanctimonious self-righteousness, becoming dissident and angry victims, or they can gravitate to positions which offer the opportunity to influence and steer behavior and societal outcomes.\u00a0 They can indoctrinate the young, generate media and entertainment bias, engage in public policy making or lawfare to \u201cchange the world!\u201d into a community of nations and brotherhood of man.\u00a0 Add a little virtue signaling, and supporting policy makers who vow to actuate their cause naturally follows.<\/p>\n

Socialism for underachievers and the \u201coppressed\u201d is a pathway to financial relief.\u00a0 For many affluent progressives it is a pathway to control, revenge \u2014 and more affluence.<\/p>\n
