The socialists need Americans to become dependent on the Federal Government instead of being personally responsible. The biggest push right now on that front is single payer healthcare. That single payer being the Federal Government and using the force of law to MAKE all Americans dependent on the government for their healthcare like it or not.

Free college and student loan forgiveness is another example of this same thing. Doubling the minimum wage will create inflation, devalue the American dollar and drive up the cost of all goods. Then you have the grand finally of the green new deal which will throw a tanker load full of gas onto the economic destruction fire they are stoking.

They hope that people will intemperate this as the failure of capitalism and just start voting to have the government take care of everything for them. Obviously this doesn't work because the Federal Government gets their money by taking it from tax payers so I don't know who they expect to pay for anything when everyone is just standing around taking handouts from the Feds.

The truly rich will just take their money and assets and leave along with big business and the country will fail. Its played out before in history and there is no reason why it cant happen here if people are too selfish and stupid to pay attention to the long term effects of their short term actions.

I'm not convinced that this cannot be avoided without a civil war. Violence is escalating already and everyone is moving politically either farther left or farther right. Once the generally quiet and peaceful right wingers have had enough of antifa and socialist policies being forced on them its gonna get real hot real fast.

I don't think milkshakes and bike chains will be making headlines any more.
It literally is a matter of when, not if, there is another civil war. Can't forget, the left wants to ban private firearm ownership, and Swalwell wants to nuke Americans.
