I'm in a similar situation. Good job and relatively well-off parents that I have a great relationship with and can support me in case of emergency. I know a bunch of people on the other side, working 12 hour shifts in low-pay retail jobs while the store loudspeaker is droning on about wellness and breathing exercises and I realize I'd probably just fucking die if I were in their shoes. It's just mind-boggling.
US prisons use slave labour even today.
There are over a million slaves today in these US prisons.
I once pointed this out to a supposedly anti-capitalist coworker during lunch break, I can't remember the exact context but I think it was about modern slavery. They just responded "yeah but that's different those are criminals".

This absolutely has to be a bit, I refuse to believe such a caricature of a person actually exists
I was in lunch break at work and went in full rant mode when a coworker started spewing anticommunist WW2 myths of the asiatic human waves one rifle for two men variety. And another time a guy posted a meme on the offtopic/spam channel about how soviet citizens were starving during the space race.
Marx never accounted for plasma, checkmate commies
Closest I can give you is the occasional countryman going 
about how their favorite medieval ruler would hang everyone in the Parliament and the like.
I am from one of the former Eastern Bloc states. My parents, who were born in the 60s and experienced both literally said at a family meeting a few months ago that that they came to the conclusion that overthrowing the socialist governments in the East was a mistake and they had fallen for the mirage of cheap consumer goods while throwing away the achievements of their socialist governments that they had taken for granted. State provided employment and housing are major things they mentioned as definite positives from that era. And among other people their age or older, this is not in any way a rare perspective. If anything, the loudest victims of communism tend to be born 1990+.

No you are thinking of something else, a dialectic is a non-conductive material that can be polarized by an electric field.
