Ask most college students, and they'll tell you that socialism is a wonderful thing. Just don't ask them to define it, because you'll get the same answer.

 

 

Ask most college students, and they'll tell you that socialism is a wonderful thing. Just don't ask them to define it, because you'll get the same answer.

Last year, a poll was released showing 53 percent of Americans under age 35 are dissatisfied with our nation’s current economic system and think socialism would be good for the country.

 

The same poll found that 45 percent of young Americans would be willing to support an openly socialist Presidential candidate.

The findings of this poll coincide with the rise of Senator Bernie Sanders, an avowed “Democratic Socialist” from Vermont who received millions of votes in the 2016 Democratic Primary, many of them from millennials.

 

While it’s clear that young people increasingly view socialism in a positive light, it’s also clear that many of them are uneducated about what it entails, or the impact it’s had throughout history.

The same poll found many millennials are unfamiliar with historical figures often associated with socialism, such as Che Guevara, Joseph Stalin, and Karl Marx.

Wanting to see what millennials in D.C. thought of socialism, Campus Reform headed to Washington, D.C. to ask students two simple questions: “Do you like socialism?” and “What is socialism?”

It quickly became clear that while most of the people we spoke with held an idyllic view of socialism, most had little idea of what it actually is.

This is very typical of my generation. They love the idea of Socialism even though they know next to nothing about it. They also love to help other people as long as they don't have to pay for it.

Isn't that the truth.

Just wondering why they don't pack up and move to any of the already existing socialist utopias.

Who knows honestly. My best guess is that they actually realize that they can't do half the stuff they do here such as protesting and talking against the government.

And its funny they portray their political opponents allowing their tantrums as fascist.

Socialism is the best!  Especially Democratic Socialism al la Bernie where everyone gets to vote.  I think Venezuela allows their citizens to vote as long as they vote for Socialism.

You are assuming they can figure out who Fica is and why they get a cut of the paycheck.  I think that is asking a lot.
