In a recent YouGov survey, respondents were asked whether they had a “favorable or unfavorable opinion†of socialism and of capitalism. Below are the results of their answers, broken down by various demographic groups.

They have only experienced crony capitalism, so little wonder they reject that.
They can go to Cuba and experience it first-hand now.
Problem is the ‘crony capitalism’ that we have seen for the last 15 years. The banks and Wall Street funds get bigger and bigger, the ‘millennials’ who are struggling to find jobs, get raises, pay off student loan debts, are not seeing any future.
Of course they have a bad view of capitalism. Unless you are in the top 10%, pretty much everyone has a bad view of the way it now works.
Progressive Left Government has provided them and their parents free sh** for decades, based on massive debt and printed money, and they’ve also educated them that everyone is a special snowflake and ill-defined “social justice” spewed by the MSM according to the issue of the day, is what is important.
What should we expect?
"If you're not a liberal when you're 18, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain
Good. Let them live in a socialist country and I’ll live here.
We’ll see who wins.
Which is why when they say free school I say might as well they aren’t teaching you shiitte.
That's about what I was going to say.
If you go through 4 or more years of college being taught that America and Capitalism is bad and Europe and socialism is good, its hard to expect anything else..
Yes, they learned all about socialism on their new iPads. And they discuss it at Starbucks over their $6 lattes. While wearing their pricey hipster clothing.
I hear Venezuela is lovely this time of year.
No—they are brainwashed from the minute they are put into an artificial institution—day “care” or “public” schools. Since the Humanist (satanist) John Dewey took over the curricula and obliterated Western Civ/Classical Christian Education from the schools (Minds), children are programmed.
There is no ability to be critical “thinkers”. None. They have MUSH and CR(P in their brains-—emotionsl “bots”. They NEVER learned any of the TOOLS to “think”-—no Logic of Aristotle—no Socratic Method, and their “math” in Common Core/NCLB has been made incoherent and totally irrational. (But parents just keep sacrificing their babies to the State/Hollywood to be warped and controlled totally—dehumanized).
They have only experienced corruption in our government and Socialism (mandatory programming)-—a Brave New World. So of course they are as irrational as a slug.
What they don't realize is that crony capitalism IS socialism. It's the reality of socialism, while all they know is the theory of socialism. That's the difference between Bernie and Hillary, too - Bernie is a theorist, while Hillary is a crony capitalist realist. But they both want "socialism."
1) They've been taught by brain-dead teachers all their lives that capitalism bad, socialism good.
2) The media -- which constitute their whole lives -- spew an endless stream of anti-business venom at them.
3) They have no investment in the capitalist system, but stand to benefit hugely from socialism. They're just passengers on the gravy train; someone else is shoveling the coal.
We’d better get control of the damned communists posing as teachers in our public schools. Loyalty oaths would be a good start, but only a start.
not surprising. The 7 years of the Obama great recession has allowed them to run up considerable college debt with zero chance of finding a decent job. They are soured on capitalism.
