Teach people about economics at a young age. Help people understand what has to happen for a $3 tube of toothpaste to sit on a shelf at their local grocery store. Make them understand it so well that they sit in awe of what humans have built to produce everyday products at scale, affordably.
Distill work down to first principals and help people understand what work is, why it is unavoidable, and why one shouldn’t have rights to the labor of another.
Educate people. There is no quick way to solve the reality that millions of Americans connect with Dem socialist ideas. There is a major void in knowledge of how stuff works. How we’ve built the comforts we’ve built, and what it took and continues to take to maintain and grow.
The only way to end bad ideas is through education. Make sure people understand how everything they take for granted every day exists as it does, and why socialist ideas are the fast track to the collapse of these comforts, mass poverty, and consolidated power structures.
