Most of them will fall out of love with socialism soon after they start getting pay checks....
If they can’t find jobs or only low paying ones, they will miss that lesson.
In normal times, a lot of 20-to-30-somethings live with room mates in a rental dwelling, have a lot of cast-off furniture, maybe a beater car and are fashionable with second-hand clothes. The ones who are more mature end up with decent jobs, get married and begin to live the modern consumer lifestyle. Still, there are always a few who never really change, even when they graduate and begin receiving better pay. They band together in collectives and seem to love spending inordinate amounts of time in group meetings where they criticize each other and plan various group projects. Eventually, they learn to write grants, join NGOs, teach and turn their de facto socialism into a career. They become the seeds that infect the next cohort as it ages.
This isn’t even factoring the trust babies or the inheritors who subsidize much of the socialistic behavior out of guilt and self-preservation. They don’t want to lose their friends, so they create venues in which they can all thrive.
They not only vote, they organize and some not only vote multiple times, with impunity, but make sure others do so, as well.
I don’t see how this is going to stop, but I believe we are in the end game and they are winning.

As stupid and inept the current generations are there won’t be any jobs that will pay more than McDonalds for them.
