62% of 18-29 Year Olds Have a Favorable View of Socialism

[SweetTea]

Pretty scary stuff here. Not only do 62% of young people have a favorable view of Socialism, but 34% have a favorable view of Communism. This is just more proof that our education system has gone off the rails. I contend that is due to enemy influence, but that is another discussion.

When will mature, adult Democrats, if there are any left, realize that they need to reign in the far-left of their party to prevent this type of uninformed, ignorant thinking? Are all Democrats so lost in the wilderness that they are unable to see the danger their current party poses to this Republic? The financial hub of our country is getting ready to elect a professed Democratic Socialist, in large part due to the young (and non-native born) population in that city. He will fail miserably. Maybe that will be a walk-up call, but I’m not so sure that will be enough wake people up.

You can thank the leftwing Department of Education for that.

Lefties have taken over education.

The history of socialism is not taught.

Can someone give us an example of the perfect socialist utopia in existence?

 

[pknopp]

97% of the people support some aspect of socialism.

I point out often that the taxpayers bailing out failed business has nothing to do with capitalism but still a large segment of people support it.

Well, maybe if Capitalism weren't such a shit sandwich, young people might have a better opinion of it.

Instead, they watch their parents get the life sucked out of them in soul-crushing jobs, while a few fat cats keep getting richer, and say, "**** that!" And with AI coming for all their jobs, Socialism does sound kind of appealing.

The very fact that NY is electing a socialist shows how really sick of Capitalism some people have gotten.

Now, there's a whole slew of reasons why Socialism doesn't work, I get that. But you really can't look at the status quo of someone building a gilded ballroom while you are cutting off poor people's health care and food stamps.

Every revolution starts with a ruling class that is unable to read the room.

We stopped teaching wester civilization. We also bastardized American history.

Can you give me an example of a perfect capitalist utopia in existence?

Oh, that's right, you can't. They all kind of suck.

What you forget is that Utopia was a joke by Sir Thomas More. "Utopia" means "No Place" in Greek.

When did this happen?

 

[Mac1958]

We have so poorly applied capitalism, we have stood by and watched the growth of such grotesque wealth imbalances, we have handed so much power and influence to the top 0.1% of the country, we have bailed out so many uncontrolled financial institutions with publc money, that it's absolutely no surprise whatsoever that many will start seriously looking at other ideas, even something as shitty and hopeless as socialism.

That's not their fault, it's ours.

When did this happen?

Back when college kids were screaming hey hey ho ho western civ has got to go.

‘Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Western Civ Has Got to Go’ - Intellectual Takeout

On January 15, 1987, Jesse Jackson and around 500 protesters marched down Palm Drive, Stanford University’s grand main entrance, chanting “Hey hey, ho ho,

Well they were handed everything (and taught in school that is the way it should be) so it's no surprise to me that they expect handouts in adulthood.

Just look at what Halfrican Care did.....Allowing adults up to 26 to stay on their parent's insurance.

Hard life lessons will have to be learned by those lay-abouts and it's gonna be a steep learning curve.

Republicans LOVE socialism.
Just as long as it's all CORPORATE.

Spending other people's money is appealing to some younger adults.

That's the influence Trump and Kirk has on the youth.

62% of 18-29 Year Olds Have a Favorable View of Socialism​

Multiple generations have been indoctrinated in the public school systems.

Now it's, "No borders, no walls. No USA at all."
One hundred years of Marxist Leninist indoctrination has gotten us here today.
It's SICK.

It is interesting how FDR is worshipped by the left.

What got us out of the depression was war, not THE NEW DEAL and Japanese into internment camps.

SOME MIGHT CALL PUTTING JAPANESE CITIZENS INTO INTERNMENT CAMPS AS NAZI, AND FDR HITLER………RIGHT?

I warned you all as soon as AOC entered the scene. Learn the story of people like myself and realize that no matter who.you are, your kids could face a similar fate as many of us.

Everyone focuses on the economic issues with socialism but the social issues are far worse. As you may soon find out...

Oh, no. Did it go?

Here's the reality- the teaching of history has a decidedly Western slant. Heck, I have a history degree, and yet until recently, knew very little about the history of China or India.

I remember when I was young and stupid (and a democrat). They are being sold on "democratic" socialism, whereas if you don't like it you can always change your mind and vote it back out. They just don't realize that there is no such thing as democratic socialism. Once you have it, you can't vote it back out.
