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

[The2ndAmendment]

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!

How do you know? Socialists never announce their plans of mass murder for non-conformists until after they're elected.

 

[my2¢]

Might be that big I.O.U. we left them has had an effect on their attitudes.

 

[Aldo Raine]

John Kelly thinks General Lee is a hero. Lee actually killed Americans, imagine that!

Aldo Raine thinks Abraham Lincoln is a hero, Lincoln actually killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Imagine that.

Comparing Lincoln to Lee, you are a deranged lil dotard aren't you!

 

[depotoo]

I'd love to see those same people polled in their later 30's,,early 40's

 

[Lewdog]

In what might be a large coincidence, 1 in 5 millennials think Joseph Stalin is a fashion designer and Kim Jong Un is the anime creator of One Punch Man.

 

[JoeB131]

Aldo Raine thinks Abraham Lincoln is a hero, Lincoln actually killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Imagine that.

yes, he did. And in the process he saved the union and ended slavery.

He is a hero.

A Russian might feel the same way about Stalin. He defeated Hitler, who wanted to exterminate the Slavic people.

 

[JoeB131]

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.

Again, Oppressive is a point of view. Most black folks feel oppressed when they can be pulled over for a DWB, which is a common occurance.

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

Naw, man, I just think it's hilarious that you keep bending over for one percenters and thanking them for the abuse. "I'm cancelling your health insurance and flying to Italy! It's all the black guy's fault!"

And you buy that.

Sure it is......only in the mind of loser who thinks they never do anything wrong, like driving around with the boob box so loud that there is no way for them to hear audio warnings like car horns and ambulance sirens, or riding around with no tail lights or visible license plates. No.... of course not. Cops just pull blacks over because they are black. That's why cops are so busy. Do you realize how many blacks drive cars????? Now go do something worthwhile and look up the term Ferguson Effect and how it has impacted our society.

Naaww. It's just when I see somebody so obsessed about something that I know it lives in their head rent free, it's certainly worth pointing out to them they have mental problems. I always like to help people when I can you know....

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

No, Communist dictators stem from Czars, starvation, and lack of the study of History.

Trump fits the paradigm: He believes he is a Czar, and his ignorance of history and governance is humungous.

 

[JakeStarkey]

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.

Then you don't have Ph.D. if you think academic dogma today "is distinctly Marxist." But give it a try and give us evidence (real evidence) besides your opinion.

Okay, except they've done a whole lot of studies.... and yup, the cops are pretty much fucking with black people.

Naaww. It's just when I see somebody so obsessed about something that I know it lives in their head rent free, it's certainly worth pointing out to them they have mental problems. I always like to help people when I can you know....

Well, frankly, if you are the one blaming black people for the screwing over rich people are giving you, then you are probably the one who needs help.

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.

I would say that the poll results are the natural outcome of a society that does not permit an honest examination of the theories of Karl Marx.

I think it also highlights the failures of this society to create an inclusive economy. People will naturally turn away from that which isn't working for them and their families. That much they can perceive, it doesn't require a developed understanding of political economy.

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

That whole list sucks of heroes.
I'm glad I'm a Millennial with a hero of Jan III Sobieski who stopped the Islamic Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna on 9/11/1683.

Well........even if you were a poor person, what other country would you rather be poor in than the Untied States?

Thanks to government goodies, our poor do better than some of our working. Living on the dole is stress free unlike those who work and have to pay their own bills.

I think the real problem is education and their inability to realize how great of a country this is. We've only been around a couple hundred years, and we've become the strongest and wealthiest country in the world. Compare that with societies that have been around thousands of years.

I'm willling to bet that most of the people in that survey never stepped outside of the US to those wonderful places they think exist. Think Jong dung is a great guy? Go live in his country for a couple of years and see if you feel the same way. You'd kiss the ground when you got back here.......if they let you come back.

Vladimir Putin is even on there, but no Viktor Orban, or Beata Szydło?

What a dumb, f*cked up nation I live in.

Okay, except they've done a whole lot of studies.... and yup, the cops are pretty much fucking with black people.

Those studies are BS. Cops are afraid to pull black people over today thanks to the Ferguson effect. Our violent and gun crime has been on the decline until that started. Police only go out when called for. They are no longer proactive. That means unless you do something obviously wrong and somebody calls the cops, you will never get pulled over for stupid shit.

Our cops used to do traffic stops all the time. No more. It might be something menial like a brake light, license plate light. But often they pulled people over for stupid shit, and they found the driver had no license, or a passenger had a warrant out for their arrest. Trouble makers knew if you came to our suburb, you better behave yourself if you didn't want to get stopped.

We have a vacant store near my home. The brothers would often do drug transactions there. The cops knew about it so they always kept an eye on the place. Now when they drive by and see a drug sale, they keep on driving. I seen it happen several times just this past summer while sitting on my porch.

Well, frankly, if you are the one blaming black people for the screwing over rich people are giving you, then you are probably the one who needs help.

Not black people, just one commie Mulatto.

Oh, I don't know about that. democrats are pretty clear about what they will do to Christians and whites if they gain enough power.

John Kelly thinks General Lee is a hero. Lee actually killed Americans, imagine that!

Aldo Raine thinks Abraham Lincoln is a hero, Lincoln actually killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Imagine that.

Comparing Lincoln to Lee, you are a deranged lil dotard aren't you!

You are stupid, hence you are a Communist.

The Commander in Chief is the one who decides to go to war. Soldiers, even generals, take orders. Lincoln bears responsibility for the war he deliberately started; Lee only bears responsibility for the strategic decisions made in fighting that war.

Learn something before spouting off.

Sorry, Dude, there is "Ferguson Effect"

There Is No Ferguson Effect

Myth of the Ferguson Effect Is Hard to Kill

There are year-to-year variations, and differences between cities, but no nationwide crime epidemic and most importantly no easy explanation for the violence, he added. And while some cities are undoubtedly facing unacceptable levels of violence, the nationwide trend in violent crime continues to point downward, as it has for the last 25 years.

Our cops used to do traffic stops all the time. No more. It might be something menial like a brake light, license plate light. But often they pulled people over for stupid shit, and they found the driver had no license, or a passenger had a warrant out for their arrest. Trouble makers knew if you came to our suburb, you better behave yourself if you didn't want to get stopped.

Troublemakers = Darkies.

You do see that when you are pulling over black folks for menial things like a brake light or license plate light, hoping to find something more serious, that's racial profiling, right? Or do you just think that's okay?

No need to answer.
