Why Are So Many Millennial’s Drawn to Socialism?

[gallantwarrior]

Because our Democrat Union run schools have been preaching it for decades. What else are they going to think? They don't know any better.

Nonsense .

How are they preaching socialism ? Give me an example .

Obviously, you have no children, or grandchildren, participating in the current public indoctrination system. I've been a professor in the university system for almost 20 years and have seen the deterioration of student quality over the course of those years. Just sucking oxygen out of the same space as a professor may qualify one for a 4.0 GPA in lots of universities.

Children are always drawn to socialism. It seems so logical and "kind." It's only when you have to go out and work to support yourself that you understand that giving people shit is NOT the answer. Withholding it is the answer, so people come to understand the axion, "There is no free lunch."

And when you look at the "adults" who support socialism, you find that, uniformly, none of them have - or ever have had - a Real Job. If they work at all, they work in Government, foundations, non-profits, and not-for-profits.

Millennials are drawn to socialism because they cannot grow up. They cannot get over the entitlements of childhood. They are entitled to benevolent parenting. They must be indulged . Free everything because mom and dad can afford it.

They are either directly affected by massive school loan debt or have close friends and family who are. That makes the appeal of free education and the tie in with the Socialist message very strong. JMO

These millennials are college age. Most of those kids think socialism is great. Free everything.

Of course nothing is free and as soon as they are out of college, get a job, have a mortgage, car payment and kids to pay for they find out about the real world.

The world where you have to work and earn a living. Free stuff ain't free and it doesn't take them long to find that out.

That's about the time that most sensible liberal caterpillars metamorphose into conservative butterflies...when they discover that they will be dunned to pay for other peoples' "free" shit.

You are joking, right?

Tell us one socialist country that didn’t dissolve into corruption.

It has plenty of meaning.

Socialism = authoritarianism = bloated bureaucratic big Gov't.

By structure, it cannot meet the majority of the most simplistic needs of the people; like something as basic as electricity.

Please see Venezuela as the most recent instructional primer on the failure of Socialism.
Thank you for your attention.

That’s not the definition of socialism you idiot .

Venezuela has all kinds of issues . Mainly revolving around corruption .

That aside . What is happening in the US that you consider socialism. Who’s pushing for gov takeovers of industry ?

Unites Arab Emerits

I am not . UAE is a socialist country .

Yup, maybe. Just look at how they treat women, for example. 'Bout time those bitches started staying home and off the streets.

In my opinion, they are attracted to government programs because so many of them were raised by a single parent who needed food stamps, and other welfare progams.
They were trained at a young age to accept handouts, so it seems natural to them.
Past generations were resistant to handouts because of pride, and because they were taught to make their own way in the world.
The younger ones today just don't have what it takes to make it themselves.

Pride and shame are so passé. They are all victims of some evil agency, employer, or individual. Only government can save them, that's what they have been taught to believe.
