"Terrified by the 1917 Russian revolution, government officials came to believe that communism could be defeated in the United States by getting as many white Americans as possible to become homeowners - the idea being that those who owned property would be invested in the capitalist system." -The Color of Law
The less invested in the capitalist system the young become the more radicalized

We have to be there, proving to these people who are becoming alienated that our alternative works. Otherwise, they’ll fall to despair or fascism. I believe that the principle of mutual aid is one thing that anarchists got objectively right.

100% agree. I think that's largely what we see right now. Easy answers and solutions are given by reactionaries that already confirm to the worldview of people growing up in the US. Hence the growing fascist movement. Fascism is capitalism in decay, after all.
