@masonberger7624 A political ideology, such as socialism, conservatism, or liberalism, is not a person or entity, it is simply a framework of ideas and beliefs. It cannot 'throw you under the bus' because it doesn’t have the agency to act or make decisions.
What you are likely referring to are specific groups, such as political parties, movements, or leaders, who claim to represent that ideology and made decisions that you feel betrayed you. However, it is also possible that, over time, segments of society, particularly those who oppose the ideology you’re referencing, have demonized and misrepresented it.
This opposition often involves labeling individuals, ideas, or problems in society as representative of that ideology, regardless of whether they actually are. Such narratives may have influenced your perception of the ideology itself.
In reality, when it felt like you were 'thrown under the bus,' it may have been more a result of the broader economic system failing you, which operates independently of said political ideology

@DaveBrown-123 Without regulations, wealth would rapidly concentrate in the hands of a few individuals and corporations. Deregulated capitalism would remove labor protections, such as minimum wage laws, workplace safety regulations and collective bargaining rights.
This would lead to a "race to the bottom," where companies exploit workers to maximize profits, driving down wages, increasing work hours and worsening conditions
Without environmental regulations, corporations would exploit natural resources without regard for sustainability or ecological balance. Pollution, deforestation, climate change and biodiversity loss would accelerate as companies prioritize short term profits over long term environmental health
public goods and services, like education, healthcare, transportation and welfare, would become privatized and commodified. This would make essential services inaccessible to those who cannot afford them
Financial markets would encourage reckless behavior, leading to frequent economic collapses that disproportionately harm workers and the poor
Corporations and wealthy elites would have unchecked power to influence politics through lobbying, campaign financing and control of the media. This would undermine democracy, as policy decisions would increasingly favor corporate interests rather than the public good
As inequality grows, social mobility declines and basic necessities become inaccessible, that resentment among the working class and poor would lead to widespread social unrest, protests and potentially violent uprisings
Unregulated capitalism for commodifying every aspect of life, including relationships, culture and identity. The focus on profit and individualism undermines community bonds, leaving people isolated and alienated
You know, it would go all to hell
