I’ve had a similar situation with my SO. Been propagandizing them - pointing out the flaws in the system, pointing out when capitalism is the cause of their ills - and, while they agree with me on all my points, they still can’t get past the “it’s the only system that has worked” mentality. I need to get stronger in those cases so I can argue the point.
That's where I find getting subjective works better. "Why do you think that? Where did you first hear it, and from who? What would have to happen to change your mind?"

My challenge has been getting past "We have to work with what we have, even if it sucks"
