Marxism is the only system which would ensure equal distribution of wealth and end hording of resources by a tiny 1%. It's the only logical way to manage the world's economy.
Would Marxism bring a better lifestyle for most middle class Americans than what they have now? Probably not. But that would be balanced by an increased standard of living for everyone across the globe.
The point is, you don't manage the world's economy and wealth for the benefit of the 1% or even middle class Americans.
Exactly this. Capitalism is a global system with a handful of strongholds against it. A very small percentage of the world do very well out of this system, and a somewhat bigger percentage, mostly in North America and Western Europe, are fairly comfortable, but the vast majority of the world are highly exploited, lack basic necessities and are victims of the wars to preserve that system. For these people, socialism is the only answer.
