Especially in imperial countries where the kids have to deliberately go along with many wrong history lessons?
I don't have kids, Matt Christman having one just makes me wonder how he and other Communist parents do it.

They do, but they use the label of "moderate" or "center-right" without having any idea what either of those mean and then they stay home on election day.
US polls for individual issues skew very strongly socdem, and polls don't really ask questions about if someone approves of their current economic system and what they would think would be more ideal, so there isn't really any US-centric data that could even theoretically show that people are more left than socdem en masse.
I'd bet if you polled the US population with the question, "Do you support an economic system where you get to elect/fire your superiors in the workplace, decide via vote how much you get paid, you get partial ownership of the company, and outside investments in corporations are illegal and classified as gambling?" without using the words "socialism, communism, Marxism, etc." that a lot more people than expected would be in favor of that.
The Red Scare just made it so the words "communism, socialism, etc." have become taboo to the older generations, and somewhat also to the younger ones, and the right likes to call literally everything they disagree with "socialism" anyway.
