Real existing forms of socialism kind of solve the problem by offering free education and programs to support poorer individuals so they can participate in society and enjoy their lives. There isn't a fully democratic socialist country yet but having parts of socialism already kind of solves these issues.

IIRC, in former east Germany you couldn't just study whatever you want (topic of this entire post). If your parents went to uni, you can't. Oversimplified, because of course there were options if you were part of the party, but I'm not sure that strengthens the point.

I don't know how that worked in Russia.
