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

[Marion Morrison]

So no loyalty to the United States of America and the country that trained him at West Point.

Did you miss the post talking about how he struggled with the decision about which command to accept for two days?

He excepted the wrong one, what America first means nothing all of a sudden

The man obvious had divided loyalty as to be expected in a Civil War.

That he was offered military command by BOTH sides, shows how well respected he was by both sides.


He choose, he fought, and his side lost.


After ward, he accepted his defeat and supported the national policy of reintegration and conciliation.

And he chose to fight and kill Americans, = traitor.

He felt his loyalty to his home State took precedence over his loyalty to the National government.


This was respected by the last 5 generations of Americans, including those that had to pay the price to defeat him.


Why are you being such a hard ass about it, now, 5 generations later?

Because he's a dipshit.

Looks like it's the latest point to push for the leftists. Keep poking the bear..leftists. Last election was nothing if you keep poking.

That's a crock of shit.

Lee could have stayed out of the fight entirely. Instead, Lee chose to fight to preserve slavery.

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.

The problem with your logic is your focus on millennials when it comes to people saying stupid things. People say stupid shit in polls all the time. There’s an actual poll where 30% of Trump supporters think we should build a wall on the Atlantic coast to keep out Muslims. I shit you not.

Also, what’s ironic about this, is that you don’t even understand how Bernie’s brand of socialism differs from the many other types. In fact, I don’t think you understand the definition at all because the US economy has ALWAYS had socialist attributes.

It always amazes me to see some come on here knowing next to nothing about the War Between The States, Slavery and actually just about anything historical and then issue their broad proclamations like they are some kind of authority....actually rather comical in a way...such folk do make me laugh.

“Our fathers made this a government for the white man, rejecting the negro as an ignorant, inferior, barbarian race, incapable of self-government, and not, therefore, entitled to be associated with the white man upon terms of civil, political, or social equality.”


I could waste some time attempting to educate them but not today..........anyhow....for anyone that would like to improve their knowledge about the Civil War without having to go to much effort..................Why Non-Slaveholding Southerners Fought | Civil War Trust

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

That usually happens during war...yeah..

But traitors on the losing side are no heroes.
Lee and all the other Confederate generals and conspirators should have been shot or hanged.

The heroes that won that war, disagreed.

Who are you to challenge their Moral Authority on this issue?

I doubt there was a consensus among the victors. But in any case, Lincoln paid for his generosity with his life. And his failure to remove Andrew Johnson, a southerner, as his VP and replace him with a Republican is mind boggling. After Lincoln's death Johnson wasn't about to indict his fellow southerners for treason....Lincoln's stupidy and "liberalism"
perpetuated traitorous sentiments for decades, gave rise to the KKK and the proliferation of statues honoring traitorous rebel murderers on horseback.

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.

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.

Education does seem to be a big problem in this country. And another example of how we are failing as a society. The economy is the base that supports our culture. When it fails our culture begins to break down with it. Our ability to educate our youth becomes a part of the breakdown.

We live in the present.

I don't know about that. The economy seems to be doing fine today. Unemployment the lowest since 2000, the highest consumer confidence rating since 2000, great stock market; breaking records all the time.

I think the people surveyed just don't know WTF they are talking about. Never experienced it and never read much about it.

Most of us know how the present prosperity arose...and it wasn't because of Trump or the present administration.

 

[Dragonlady]

Yes the right wingers here completely ignore that the US is a socialist country and always has been.

Public education, publically owned hospitals, libraries, infrastructure. Americans have always used tax dollars for projects which promote the “general welfare” of the country.

The military is a great example. It protects the nation and its citizens. There’s even a law against war profiteering.

One thing I do agree on in this poll is that many Americans cannot properly define communism. We see it on this board all of the time. So many right wingers call single payer health care “commie care”. It isn’t unless the government owns the hospitals, clinics, labs, and the doctors are employed by and paid by the government.

The VA hospital system can reasonably be called “commie care”, but not Medicare or Medicaid. A single payer system where doctors office, labs and hospitals are privately owned but bill the government for the service they provide patients are not “commie care”.

Doctors who are in private practice under a single payer system operate independently, set their own hours, rent/purchase their own premises and equipment and function just the way they do now.

Communism is a system whereby the government owns and controls everything. There is no private property. Only the collective. The government pools the fruits of all labour and distributes it to the people. From each according to their abilities to each according to their needs.

It never actually worked that way. The Party elite lived well, the workers not so much. The system stifles ambition and creativity. What’s the point of working hard if there’s no reward? And it was open for abuse. Not to mention that like any absolute system it required that all opposition be destroyed. Hence the horrific purges.

So the moment someone here calls another person a “communist”, they prove their ignorance because there are no more communists. They’re gone. It’s a failed system.

All absolute forms of government require destruction of the opposition. This lead to purges in South America when the Chicago School capitalists took over there. Chile is a fine example. Leftists were killed, tortured, or “disappeared”. An entire generation of them.

Notice how many posters here say that the US can’t succeed until you get rid of the leftists. Given the marches by white supremacy groups, the attacks on immigrants and minorities and Trump’s aligning himself with these groups, Americans have every right to be concerned.

Indeed the pink patriarchs donned the mantle of whiteness to enhance the evils perpetrated upon blacks and American aborigines.

Lincoln was a realist and his position on Negroes was well known............

1. Lincoln said:
   There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races ... A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas ...
   2. On shipping blacks back to Africa:
   
   Lincoln said:
   In the language of Mr. Jefferson, uttered many years ago, "It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation, and deportation, peaceably, and in such slow degrees, as that the evil will wear off insensibly; and in their places be, pari passu [on an equal basis], filled up by free white laborers."
   3. On outlawing slavery in the south (before the rebellion).
   
   Lincoln said:
   I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.
   4. On equality:
   
   Lincoln said:
   I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.
   5. On inter-racial marriage:
   
   Lincoln said:
   Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.

No fix is needed. Leave freedom of choice alone. Students weigh the benefits of Capitalism and Socialism in terms of how they are presently affected...many, burdened by oppresive student loans know that socialist countries would not impose that finacial burden on them. Students, being the brightest among us have seen middle class wealth devastated by medical costs associated with one catastrophic illness of a family member before that socialist Obamacare came along...I could go on but to what end?
