people are afraid of big sweeping changes

Who? Who are these people?

I'm pretty sure you just mean rich people are afraid of any progress - especially because progress is a direct threat to their privilege.

No normal person is afraid of getting their basic human needs. I think the complete opposite is the case.

Who? Who are these people?

Around 90% of the population of this planet.

No.

No normal person is afraid of getting their basic human needs

That's false - a lot of people think that them getting their basic human needs would collapse something and cause irreparable damage. It's bullshit, of course, but people - in general - are just by default afraid of change.

People are afraid of the extreme deprivation which is a foundation for capitalism

That's absolutely false. I mean, come on, look around. If that were true, we wouldn't have a resurgence of right-wing, liberal capitalism parties all across the board, and the US wouldn't be what it is!

You keep using this term without any evidence of it existing.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Could you elaborate?
