Question about socialism

I'm a conservative, Christian, and an Army veteran who supports capitalism (but not cronie capitalism and worker exploitation like what happens in America and China). I've heard from many that antiwork has a lot of supporters for socialism and/or communism. I'm working on a PhD and want to learn how others view the world and not about shutting down new ideas. I'm very aware that people say true Communism has never been tried and has always been hijacked from tyrants. My question is to those who want America to embrace these systems, do you think that a country with over 600 billionaires, evil corporations, and shifty politicians on both sides of the isle would actually be the right place to start that? Don't you need a fresh start? And if you say “we have to burn the system down”, these people could just run, hide, and destroy the country leaving…

Don't you need a fresh start? And if you say “we have to burn the system down”, these people could just run, hide, and destroy the country leaving those in cities to starve. Human nature always finds a way to corrupt. It's even corrupted capitalism as it's relying on a communist country (the opposite economic system) to stay afloat. From stalinism, to the CCP controlling china's economy, don't you think the wealthy in the U.S. would WANT communism for normal Americans? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that pull the ladder up from those who don't have wealth? I don't trust the politicians and billionaires to make the transition easy. They would find a way to stay on top. I've heard some say they want a universal basic income and everyone to be equal, but that would mean some work harder than others and get the same pay. This demotivates hard work and creates stagnation. What are your thoughts?
