Here's something to think about: Are most people incapable of living in capitalism and would fare better in socialism, or would most people feel like their growth has stagnated in socialism and are basically surviving with their basic needs being met, but not really thriving? Do you think humans by nature are lazy, or competitive? Do you think humans by nature want to constantly grow, experience new things, etc. or stay in a village?

You say I have superiority complex. I say I choose something a majority would choose too (which by logic invalidates superiority argument). This is democracy, isn't it?

Judging by the surveys In Eastern Europe, people prefer socialism having lived through both. You can make up all imaginary dilemmas you want, but reality has given you the answer.

The majority can't choose that in capitalism, the biggest predictor for success in studying is family income, and capitalism is hugely unequal. You believe you're superior to the rest because you "made the choice to study hard", most people don't have that choice in the first place.

I'll repeat what I said before. Failed countries are not a good example. People seek something better, and back when they weren't broken, they had it better, so naturally that implies to them that socialism is better. This is awfully flawed logic - a logical fallacy.

most people don't have that choice in the first place.

I don't see why not. I was slightly below average in middle school, yet I got a free spot in university. Again, just because somewhere else education or whatever is broken, does not inherently mean it's the fault of capitalism.
