Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

You can't get the American population to think "being rich" is morally wrong when even the language of the question doesn't even correctly define how that wealth was obtained.
An educated population would understand class conflict. But, even "being rich" is a horrible survey question. Yeah, you can't say "being bourgeoise" or "capitalist exploitation". But the survey at the very least should ask "being a billionaire". If the question was asked that way the results would definitely shift by at least 10% or more.
It also leans into the false premise that class consciousness is about hating "rich" people. It's not. Socialism isn't a poverty cult. It's about criticizing the exploitative systems that allow billionaires to exist. To critize the class structures.
