I think it's the people who benefit the most out of the current system. They pass down that dogma and shove it down our throats. The reality is a bit different though, the US is a mix of both capitalism and socialism, but they'd never want to plainly admit to that, they'd rather bash socialism as the biggest strawman they've ever made. Not to mention that for them the terms of socialism and communism are the same thing, conflated with other feared ideas.
