A growing number of Millennials show support for communism and socialism, a survey from the Victims of Communism found.
The survey, conducted by the Victims of Communism and polled by the research and data firm YouGov, found that 70% of Millennials are likely to vote socialist and that one in three Millennials perceive communism as âfavorable.â The survey is part of the Victims of Communismâs report âU.S. Attitudes Toward Socialism, Communism, and Collectivism,â which polled 2,100 people in the United States who were 16 and older with a margin of error of +/- 2.4%.
A little over half of the Millennials polled said the Declaration of Independence âguarantees freedom and equalityâ better than the Communist Manifesto. (RELATED: 70% Of Russians Approve Of Mass Murderer Joseph Stalinâs Impact On Country: Poll)

âThe historical amnesia about the dangers of communism and socialism is on full display in this yearâs report,â said Marion Smith, executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

âWhen we donât educate our youngest generations about the historical truth of 100 million victims murdered at the hands of communist regimes over the past century, we shouldnât be surprised at their willingness to embrace Marxist ideas,â Smith added. âWe need to redouble our efforts to educate Americaâs youth about the history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today.â
Millennials polled also said they consider President Donald Trump the âbiggest threat to world peace,â rating Trump as more dangerous to world peace than Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, or Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Ten percent of Millennials said Trump is âresponsible for more deaths and human rights abusesâ than mass-murder and Russian leader Joseph Stalin or notorious German dictator Adolf Hitler.
