Nearly 1 In 5 Millennials Consider Joseph Stalin And Kim Jong Un ‘Heroes’

[Ray From Cleveland]

Nearly one in five millennials consider Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Un “heroes,” according to a Thursday poll.

The poll demonstrated an increase in acceptance of socialism and communism among American millennials and was released by the Victims of Communism Memorial Fund.

One-half of millennials and one-third of Americans would prefer to reside in a socialist or communist nation instead of a capitalist democracy, according to the poll.

“One in five (23%) of Americans age 21-29 consider Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin a ‘hero’; 26% for Vladimir Lenin; 23% for Kim Jong Un,” the study notes. Furthermore, over one-fifth of millennials surveyed had a positive opinion of Karl Marx.

The study also found that 71 percent of millennials could not pinpoint communism’s definition and four-fifths of the generation did not know how many lives were lost as a result of the ideology.

Nearly 1 In 5 Millennials Consider Joseph Stalin And Kim Jong Un ‘Heroes’

The question is, how do these people form their opinions? Where do these young people (not long out of high school) get their information from?

Before any of you leftists try to discredit the report, let me remind you that Bernie Sanders is an admitted Socialist, and he was a close second for the Democrat presidential nominee. Now we find out the only reason he didn't get the nomination is because the race was fixed against him. So this poll seems to reflect the election outcome.

If people are saying they would rather live in a government system they know nothing about, it can only mean one thing, and that is they were "told" how great such a system is. Who told them that?

I'm telling ya, we really need to do something about our education and social programs, and I don't mean throw more money at it.

This is why good parents won't send their children to public schools if at all possible

Okay, but don't you think with this trend, it will eventually be four out of five unless we do something about it now?

I think the worst thing in that poll is 60% consider Ronald Reagan a hero along with 31% who consider Trump a hero. - Source

No, the question is, why do you RW'ers reject polls you don't like and worship those you do?

We reject polls that make no sense. This poll seems to make perfect sense given the success of Bernie Sanders even though he was not elected as President; too close for comfort. In other words, 40 years ago a guy like him would have had a slightly better chance than Kasich.

starts with the parents....

No, really it doesn't. It's more of a social perception that the kids are aware of and don't want to be a part of...The ones that could and would help the public consensus is the corporations themselves along with the over aggressive capitalist and the lack of social mobility the kids feel is not available...

That usually happens during war...yeah..

Brains not yet fully formed. They should read up on POL POT also, and the German/Soviet non agression pact Stalin jumped into.

 

[Care4all]

World History should be a requirement in high school...when I went to H.S. we had the OPTION of taking either World history or American History...I took world history but most in my high school chose American History....

I wish I had ALSO taken American History, along with world History...but you could not take both....

And Bernie is not Stalin, nor even close to him, for goodness sake!

Parents can only do so much. I place the blame in our schools. They should be teaching kids about history such as our fight against Communism and other destructive governments.

I guess it was more popular to do so when I was a kid. On the other hand, we used to practice running to the school shelters in the event the Soviet Union were to send a nuke our way.

LOLOL, goddam, the poll says 13% regard Stalin as a hero. How did they get to nearly 1 in 5 with that number?
