Our education system feeds them a fantasy version of socialism that makes all things better, a trend that must stop if America is to survive.
Once seen as a taboo word in American politics, socialism has experienced a notable resurgence, especially among young voters. Polls show that more than half of millennials and Gen Zers now view socialism favorably. Politicians like Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have transformed what was once a fringe ideology into a highly popular political movement.
Even more troubling, they’ve achieved this not through real policy solutions but by promoting a utopian fantasy rooted in grievance, entitlement, and historical ignorance.
Socialism is a system of “governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” No truly socialist society has achieved a level of plenty or freedom comparable to America.
A Cato/YouGov survey conducted in March found that “62 percent of American adults under 30 say they hold favorable views of socialism.” Rasmussen Reports observed a similar sentiment this past May, with 50% of voters under 30 indicating they want a democratic socialist to win the next presidential election.
Why are so many young Americans falling for it?
To be clear, this movement isn’t rooted in careful study of history or economics. It’s fueled by emotion rather than reason. It thrives because too many young people have been raised to believe that discomfort equals injustice and that government is the answer to every problem.
Today’s young adults have grown up in a culture that promotes victimhood instead of resilience. From K-12 schools to college campuses, they have been taught that life is unfair, that capitalism is oppressive, and others—corporations, the wealthy, or “the system”—cause their struggles.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Cause they’re retards.
It is all fun and games until you get beat up by the secret police because you complained that you are hungry.
Whose brains aren’t fully developed.
You can vote your way into socialism, but you’ll have to fight your way out.
Parents turned the raising of their children over to the school systems which are filled with socialist NEA teachers.
It was only a matter of time.
That’s the sad truth.
Bkmk
Because the proponents of socialism promise that socialism will give them everything they want just like a child wants.
These young adults who want socialism are nothing more than petulant, Entitled children
The inevitability of socialism: decay, deception, depravation, destruction
In need of serious discipline.
Something for nothing. The oldest scam since the dawn of mankind, and it still works today.
Socialism has been taught in the public school system from Jr High - College. The concept has been ingrained in them.
“PARTICIPATION TROPHIES: GROOMED THEM FOR SOCIALISM, IMO.
This! And as Rush said…”skull full of mush”
I think part of the reason is they have bought into the argument that the rich are not paying their fair share. They think it would be a good idea to not only tax the rich on their income, but their wealth as well. They are lazy and don’t bother checking the facts. The “rich” (top 10% of income earners) pay 72% of total IRS tax collections, while the bottom 50% pay less that 3% of collections. The rich don’t pay their fair share...they over-pay!
Bezos has been a millionaire for over a decade. Early on, he could have bought a yacht and sailed around the world eating Bon-Bons. Instead, he re-invested his profits into Amazon to the point were over he feeds, clothes, and shelters over 250,000 souls. The only reason that some of the Participation Trophy, spoiled, and indoctrinated recent graduates can move out of their parents basements is because it is the rich who invest in the economy, promote economic growth, and create jobs for these malcontents.
Simply stated, that generation is clueless. Until they learn how the economic system really works, they should sit down and STFU.
They believe they’ll have more leisure time to pursue their art instead of getting sent to work 80 hours a week in the salt mines.
Right...also, the NEA failed them. You can see that when they try to answer questions that YOU had figured out by the time you were 14!
“...Something for nothing. The oldest scam since the dawn of mankind, and it still works today....”
Agree fully. There’s nothing new under the sun when it comes to this stuff.
You’re correct: this “scam” has been around since the dawn of time as we know it. Yet, people STILL, to this very day, eagerly “swallow the bait” of this evil BS...
There is no “free lunch”. Someone, somewhere, paid for it.
