I like the word "infiltrate". The ideological shift in kids coming out of high school is problematic. Our schools and education system is where the indoctrination begins. Socialism has never been successful. Period. It will take another generation to change the dynamics.

So as a major CA making $300k you’d gross about $120k, and your unemployed (by choice) neighbor would gross $80k. How happy would you be with that after years of hard work? What would be the incentive to work hard?
AOC and her ilk assume a static model of the economy and assume production. But that’s not how it works, because under the above scenario, you’d say, “screw it” I’ll just not work and live like my neighbor.
Appreciate your thoroughness in the breakdown. Salute!
Seems clear easy math would compute and logic would prevail. People should be rewarded for their work ethic, not in spite. Good post!
