Sure a lack of education is part of it. But lets be honest capitalism has some major flaws and isn't giving itself a good look. Communism caused a lot of death for sure. But so has capitalism via homelessness/starvation and desperation. Desperation that leads to armed robbery and suicide among other things. All 3 systems have causalities. I mean with headlines like this; "Americans Are Dying Younger, Saving Corporations Billions" it's hard not to frown upon it. link
I'm not saying we should be a communist nation but capitalism needs a serious revamp.
Extreme wealth inequality has been shown, in studies and throughout history, to lead to cynicism, unrest and - if it becomes extreme enough - actual revolts. The ever-rising economic/social/political inequality and insecurity we're currently facing is not sustainable.
Despite what communists believe, we cannot maintain an extremely equal state without it being despotic. But neither can we maintain an extremely unequal state without despotism. It needs to be balanced between those. Right now it is not, and it is getting worse as time progresses. Needs a serious fix or the social and economic problems will just continue.
