I place this in Economy section, but I've always warned (from experience) that the social abuses on ones liberty and lack of accountability of government is the real danger of socialism.
The communists didn't need to invade, they invested in our schools and politicians. This is the result. Let's also be clear, the expansion of Crony Capitalism and lack of enforcement of abusers also doesn't help promote true capitalism/liberty.
Millennials and Gen Z-ers are becoming increasingly comfortable with socialism, according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC), which conducts an annual poll assessing Americans' attitudes toward socialism.
VOC Executive Director Marion Smith attributes this trend shown in VOC's poll, as well as in other national polls, to a failure of American educational institutions, definitional misunderstandings and a double standard in media and on social media.
"We are seeing the high watermark, politically, of socialism [and] Marxism in the United States," Smith told Fox News. "Never before in history has the United States seen positive opinions of these ideologies to the extent that we’re seeing today. That's just a fact."
Support for progressive, self-identified democratic-socialist politicians including former 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has increased among young voters.
