"According to this theory, some people react by working hard to master

However, people with very strong feelings of inferiority have a hard time
convincing themselves that they have actually achieved enough. To

American politics is a good fit to a pattern of superiority/inferiority
complexes based on financial and social success or lack of it and the
resulting envy and blame-shifting. It also fits a closely related analysis
of mature self-reliance vs childish dependence, which socialism promises to
continue after the parents end their support.
