You have to remember that there are many older people in society who grew up in a time when socialism was basically under nationwide censorship. If you were lecturer and tried to teach your students about Marx you would kiss your career goodbye. As a result we have generations of people who have pretty much zero exposure to any political alternative to fundamentalist free market capitalism. If the only turns on the road you can see lead right then that's the direction you will go. And who is responsible for that? Why, the same generation that fought so admirably in WW2. No one is perfect.
In America maybe, but the UK was very socialist after WW2 up until Thatcher.
The WW2 generation built the NHS. The Boomer’s voted in Maggie and gave us Thatcherism.
