My Dad had this book in our house when I was a kid. Taught me about socialism especially that the words they speak have a much different meaning than what was actually being done.
You're looking at it from the 30k-foot level, and I believe you're right.
The useful idiots I don't think are as focused on destroying capitalism, per se, as they are trying to bring down the current "system." I just don't see most wokey people as really being that focused, or truly understanding what's going on.
It's like people who scream about The Patriarchy. If you quiz 10 people (who want to bring down The Patriarchy) as to what The Patriarchy actually is -- you'll get 10 different answers.
But yes, the goal of the people, at the highest levels, pushing this is to destroy capitalism.
They have to if they want their "Hunger Games" style dystopian shit fest.
They necessarily have to close off the upward societal paths for everyone -- other than their select few.
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” – Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) circa 1960s
Mass killings under communist regimes occurred through a variety of means during the 20th century, including executions, famine, deaths through forced labor, deportation, starvation, and imprisonment. Some of these events have been classified as genocides or crimes against humanity. Other terms have been used to describe these events, including classicide, democide, red holocaust, and politicide. The mass killings have been studied by authors and academics and several of them have postulated the potential causes of these killings along with the factors which were associated with them. Some authors have tabulated a total death toll, consisting of all of the excess deaths which cumulatively occurred under the rule of communist states, but these death toll estimates have been criticized. Most frequently, the states and events which are studied and included in death toll estimates are the Holodomor and the Great Purge in the Soviet Union, the Great Chinese Famine and the Cultural Revolution in the People's Republic of China, and the Cambodian genocide in Democratic Kampuchea (now Cambodia).

I love the intro video. Here are my predictions: the young clean shaven guy with the carefully-mussed-with-product hair will end up working in television. The hot young women will be bankers' wives and suburban soccer moms. The earnest, slightly chubby 6 will be a primary school teacher. The dude with the beard means it and will probably be killed in a clash with police. None of these twits are Lenin.
Do these people never learn? How much of this is caused by having leftist teachers in school? The arrogance of the left is just astounding.
