A curious poll out of Harvard was published on Monday showing that 51% of people between 18 and 29 do not support capitalism.
But the curious aspect of this poll is that only 33% of respondents supported socialism. The dichotomy suggests that either most young people haven't a clue about the differernce between capitalism and socialism or, as the researchers believe, the opposition to capitalism arises out of anger at the status quo.
Washington Post:
The Harvard University survey, which polled young adults between ages 18 and 29, found that 51 percent of respondents do not support capitalism. Just 42 percent said they support it.
It isn't clear that the young people in the poll would prefer some alternative system, though. Just 33 percent said they supported socialism. The survey had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.
The results of the survey are difficult to interpret, pollsters noted. Capitalism can mean different things to different people, and the newest generation of voters is frustrated with the status quo, broadly speaking.
All the same, that a majority of respondents in Harvard University's survey of young adults said they do not support capitalism suggests that today's youngest voters are more focused on the flaws of free markets.

The future of our country? The education system has betrayed us.
They should move to Venezuela
Let’s see how they fee when they get their sorry ass thrown into a concentration camp.
Also, I prefer the term “free enterprise” over the marxist term “capitalism”.
The thing is, there are dozens of countries who also reject capitalism. Why does it never occur to these ‘tards to simply move to a country more accommodating to their social-political-economic philosophy? One way plane fare isn’t that expensive.
Were they polling just Harvard students?
Or did those come in at a higher percentage?
Maybe they couldn’t understand the Question
And they got into Harvard how?? And they’re going to give up their Mazda when? And they’re going to Europe for the summer why??
But wear fashion clothing, use cellphones, drive vehicles, and play video games that wouldn’t be possible without capitalism. What a bunch of morons.
“A curious poll out of Harvard was published on Monday showing that 51% of people between 18 and 29 do not support capitalism. “
Eliminate the Dept. of Education, now.
There’s a reason why Bill Ayers went into teaching teachers.
"Do you realize how many people my age, or younger, saw how the recession screwed so many people? To many of them capitalism is a failed system."
As our Founders understood very well, a well-educated populace is required for freedom and its continuance. The Marxists also understand that as seen by the deliberate dumbing down of children and young people in school because the Marxists have somehow entrenched themselves for years in education (& all of America’s institutions - another example of how prolonged power brings a love of socialist status quo).
That’s because most of them still live with mommy and daddy.
Free Traitors™ and the Cheap Labor Express are giving capitalism a bad name.
As they cash their checks from Calitalist Pigs anyway
‘young adults said they do not support capitalism suggests that today’s youngest voters are more focused on the flaws of free markets.’
Free Markets? We don’t have Free Market Capitalism. We have Corporatism. Have you ever scene what it is like to open a business these days? Have you even tried to go about selling anything.
