There needs to be some sort of punishment for teachers who indoctrinate children into socialism.

The question is, what do they think socialism is?

Many think it’s the brightest people in the room, making the decisions to allocate resources fairly.

The Stupid Party is too gutless to call him what he is: A Communist. Republicans always tiptoe around anything controversial. It’s pathetic.

Socialism is the elite and then the rest of you.

They all think they will be the elite.

Get boats and planes together. They don’t have to dream; we will help them to one of the many socialist places right now.

Young Americans Dream Of A Socialist Future?

Probably because the Capitalist got too greedy. S**t happens.

If you want to know America’s future, study South America.

Debt, government expenditure, government insider corruption, activist socialism, demographics/race, education trends, urban crime, wealth and social disparity - all trending that direction

Send them to an actual socialist nation to live as a regular person there, for 1 year. No inner party perks or bennies.

We’ll see how many want socialism after that.

This is the youth that quit trying to achieve anything, their only effort is to bemoan how little they have.
Participation trophies in sports reduced expectations in academia, public behavior based singularly on self aggrandizement. A section of society whose main focus is how they can have what others have, without extending any effort to make good things happen.

Seems they don’t know much about it. They won’t like it for long.

The support for socialism among the young reflects their view of the future, which is to say, they don't have one.

What they see is a "capitalist" system that demands they spend a lot of time and money getting educated, working hard but rewarded with very little, and often forced to work more than 40 hours a week unpaid because they are on salary.

Their pay won't even allow them to rent an apartment by themselves or buy a car. They may also be laid off at any time, may or may not get health insurance and have little, if any, PTO.

And most of all, little prospect that will change.

With socialism they are counting on a small and crappy apartment, but one which they can afford, "free" health insurance and 4 weeks PTO: more or less like Europe.

Our current crony "capitalism" offers them low pay with lots of stress, socialism offers them the same diminished expectations but with much less stress and more benefits.

That's why it appears to them to be a rational choice.

If you want to change that, the market has to be changed so the share of national income going to labor rises to something like it was in the 1960s.

Portlanders elected Katie Wilson to be their mayor.

Portland?

Forget it. He's on a roll.

Unsuccessful people always want someone to give them something.
