Calling someone a tankie is not some sort of magic instant win button. All it accomplishes is revealing that you're as politically illiterate as someone who tries to find that instant win button in the word "woke"

American families are encouraged to demand their children pay rent and throw their children out on the street once they're no longer legally required to provide for them. Workplaces have that same energy.

How do you address low motivation levels though? The response to covid, the endless school shootings, their parent's jobs, and even a small amount of reading about climate apocalypse should make it obvious to children that society despises them and that they have no future. How do you motivate someone to do well in school under those conditions if they're not already motivated?

Obamacare fined people for not having health insurance (generally because they couldn't afford it). The money collected from that fine was not used to provide those people with health insurance or healthcare.

The whole point of government is to be authoritarian. That authority is what separates tax collectors from muggers. That authority is what allows for public good such as welfare programs and public bad such as a militarized police force that brutally defends the capitalist class and their capital. Under "liberal" capitalism, that authority is concentrated in the hands of the dictators that own the means of production.
