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

The OP does not give us a definition of 'hero' used in the survey.

Gee Fakey, I thought you had me on Ignore! Who puts people on ignore and then participates in their topic?

 

[jknowgood]

For their fashion sense if nothing else.

Nicely tailored for the slimming effect..

Looks like Hillary in her younger days.

What are the chances this is a legit poll?

Anyway, millennials are jaded as fuck. Most of those votes were probably just meant to fuck up the poll results.

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.

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.

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

Don't like showing what you support?

So they aren't telling the story about Stalin you like?

It seems to me if the record on Stalin is presented, and 4 out of 5 say, "What an asshole" and 1 out of 5 say, "What a hero", then they probably did a pretty good job of presenting the evidence.

You said "A lot of Russians." As for our education system, it should be more like 1% if anything provided they learned about oppressive governments.

Except not enough of them did, which is why Trump was able to steal the election.

Here's the thing. while some people watch as their boss cancels their health insurance and goes along with it, others look at the current system and realize it's fucked up.

I'll tell you what's fucked up, having a mental disorder like obsessive compulsiveness and not having it looked into.

What are the chances this is a legit poll?

I would say pretty accurate. As I stated earlier, look at Sander's success even though he didn't win. He came damn close and he's an admitted Socialist.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

The last step to Communism is Socialism. I find this poll very frightening.

So do I. But given what a shit sandwich Capitalism has become for Most Americans, you shouldn't be surprised.

So a millenial who just paid $60,000 and put himself into debt for the rest of his life thinks Capitalism sucks and socialism might not be such a bad idea.

Whose fault is that again?

Aaaaaaa, liberal colleges?

Bernie is nowhere near a Josef Stalin. C'mon man. Many of these kids probably don't even know what Stalin did thanks to our wonderful education system.

The way you thought of obama.

The way you love Mussolini.

Which is the point I was making. These younger people get their beliefs from somewhere. I would think if educated properly, or at the very least, read the news about such places, they wouldn't' even think about saying they would like to be like them.

THANK GOODNESS four in five millennial do NOT think they are heros!

Problem is, 4 out of 5 college professors think Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot are "heroes"

Nonsense, I went to what is CONSIDERED a liberal college, the minute
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn hit the US, he was begged to be commencement speaker, before my time darn it, also a Chairman of IBM. In addition 'the university' kept holdings in South Africa until 1989. Most people I knew liked Reagan and GHWB (who I did believe was an improvement over Reagan, thought Carter had been THE WORST.)

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

My views on Reagan are biased, I was young and my parents did not like him(.) He was able to communicate, and according to Tip O'Neill's autobiography, CHANGE his mind when facts were placed before him.

It takes money to hire teachers, etc. Yes, most know the name from a History class, which is boring to some young people, and thought of that name as 'somebody important'. Lenin and Stalin do not sound RUSSIAN like many they have briefly heard.

This ain't 1972 anymore.

If you have a Major in "social science" (underwater basket weaving) then you WILL be taught by open Marxists.

I was not in high school in 1972. And "social sciences" includes some odd studies.

I have a Ph.D. I have a LOT of experience in higher education. The dogma of academia is distinctly Marxist.

A majority of millennials would prefer to live in a socialist, communist or fascist nation rather than a capitalistic one, according to a new poll.

Your lunatics who don't belong in this nation if we could only get them out of this Country. They do not deserve to be here and won't realize their own blow back will be exactly what they don't want. A communist nation they're that stupid.
