This problem has been there for years...

Oh okay, but why are so many people in the U.S. wanting socialism or communism now? I mean other countries that has tried socialism, didn't work out so well.

In the fall of the cold war, a lot of people were happy to break free of the Soviet Union for example, and so many people are immigrating from China, because they do not like it there, and Koreans hate the communist state of North Korea, etc.

So why are a lot of people in the U.S. wanting a system that seems to be disliked by people over and over again?

They say that this whole thing is because of how police officers treat people, and are racist, but if the government was switched to communism, would racism and bad police be improved, or be restrained?

Canada has socialized programs like medical and so does the UK. We Americans want the same thing too.
