Socialism is very popular among the future voters and leaders of this country

[ChairmanGonzalo]

YouGov | One third of millennials view socialism favorably

According to a yougov poll, over one third of younger voters support socialism. In fact, this is almost equal to the number of millennials who say that they support capitalism (36- Socialism, 39-capitalism.) This number will only grow in favor of socialism as more and more young Americans get fed up with police brutality against people of color, and are inspired by civil rights movements such as OWS, BLM, and the protests which overthrew a racist, bigoted University of Missouri chancellor last year.

This is in direct contrast to the older generations, which are much more biased in favor of capitalism. This shows that my generation is more open minded, more forward thinking, and as we prepare to take the reigns of leadership in this country, socialism will slowly go from ostracized, to respected, to the American way of life.

Oh, and please don't give me the bullshit about how "people get more conservative as they grow older." That has been PROVEN to be a complete MYTH:

Do People Become More Conservative as They Age?

Mythbusters: People Get More Conservative As They Age. Right?

This is why countries such as China or Uruguay have far less debt, better education systems, a shit ton less crime, and a better economy than the U.S, right?

I'm not going to try and educate a socialist, you're all way too stupid to grasp anything being told to you. I made my point and will only add that never in history has socialism worked....never

Yeah, which is why the USSR sent the first satellite and first human into space, or how China transformed from an impoverished feudal society to the world's largest economy, or how Cuba brought it's literacy rate from 50 percent to 99 percent (much higher than the estimated 84 percent here in the USA)

It is also why there are plenty of societies with better and less expensive healthcare systems, but this reality must be vehemently denied.

You're basically posting to a religious fanatic/zealot with no understanding of her own blended economy.

Sounds good, why don't you move to one of those countries then?

Except... no. Less debt? Maybe, not going to bother checking. Better education? Going to narrow the scope of that claim and assume you meant "Better PUBLIC education", which is saying very little, and has absolutely nothing with their economic structure. Going to have to prove the "Less crime" claim. "Better Economy" is just laughable, and you should feel bad for making such a blatantly stupid claim. I will admit that China is doing a lot better than most other Socialist Nations since they haven't collapsed and changed systems yet~

Lots of stupid people out there.

No violence in socialist countries. DERP!

Don't forget the Soviet gulags, Mao's Great Leap Forward that killed 45 million people in just 4 years and Fidel's firing squads.

In an effort to unify his people under the ideological yoke of communism, Mao oversaw one of the largest genocides in the annals of human history. Lenin said, “If you want to make an omelet, you must be willing to break a few eggs.” The means Mao employed, however, precluded the possibility of a Leninist utopia: He broke too many eggs.

Thousands of Cubans have died in front of Castro’s infamous ‘paredón’ (the wall). There was no discrimination, as far as sending people to the firing squad was concerned. Young and old, black and white, rich and poor were sent to ‘el paredón’.
Many of those who helped Castro gain power, like Comandantes Ernesto Sori Marin and William Morgan, an American, were among the thousands who were shot.

Socialism has been GLOWING for millennia and never lost its lumens

I am fine with socialism as long as you are also an anarchist and believe in synthesis.

Public goods and public services are great, as long as society is not being forced to fund them. Human liberty is more valuable than collectively organized goods and services, and therefore the only just system is one based on voluntary association.

The punishment of reactionary terrorists, who try to violently oppose equality for all people, should be applauded

 

[Mac1958]

Don't we need a specific working definition of the term "socialism"?

I doubt most of these people want actual socialism - much more likely they're thinking of Euro-social democracy.

[Eloy]

What is astonishing is the way American media and corporation money has been so successful in suckering a whole population to support capitalism. With better education, Americans will one day come to embrace socialism as the only system of government that is fit for a civilized society.

And why poverty and alcoholism gives them a 3rd world life expectancy.

or how China transformed from an impoverished feudal society to the world's largest economy

2nd largest economy....and they were impoverished and feudal until they started practicing capitalism.

or how Cuba brought it's literacy rate from 50 percent to 99 percent

How come 99% literacy (and free healthcare, LOL!) always comes with a boot stomping on a human face?
