A quick google finds me a study showing the mediating factor is actually social status. People who feel higher up the society hierarchy, are more likely to be conservative and more likely to report good life satisfaction.

"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein
