I think most of your questions have been answered right here by you. I agree that we are o where close to the ideal. I believe as you do that this is due to STS infiltration to power seeking and grabbing positions.
But like I mentioned in my last post- The opportunities for total power grab and total corruption is minimized in the system based on individuals while a socialist system lends itself to complete control and dominance by one small elite group.

There is a difference between struggle and struggle. There is a difference between a person suffering in US and person suffering in another country.
That is a significant question. I think most US citizens who are born in US and have little exposure of the outside world, don't appreciate how good they have it here. People have become complacent and used to having things and comforts so much that they complain about small things. And the mainstream STS media sells the same narrative to them.
I know it is not perfect but all I can tell you is that we are speaking only comparatively. You are not perfect, I am not perfect and nor do I expect anyone including the government to be perfect on this planet in this density.
