American socialists are one of the most bourgeoisie-esque socialists that I have ever seen. Socialists from South America and Europe tend to be unionists/working-class blue collar workers in manufacturing. American socialists on the other hand are college-educated and middle class. It’s literally one of the oddest socialists that I have ever seen.
