Amid the rise of Socialism in the United States, most self-proclaimed “Democratic-Socialists” have been dismissed as fringe radicals. Now, a concerning new poll shows that the majority of Democrat voters now prefer socialism to capitalism.
Between August 7-10 of this year a Fox poll showed that 59% of registered Democrat voters who participated now have a positive view of socialism, compared to 49% of Democrats that felt the same way about capitalism:
The data has only suggested socialism’s rise in popularity. The same poll was taken in February of 2020 where then 50% of Democrats approved of capitalism, with just 40% saying they approve of Socialism.
On the other hand, 67% of Republicans had a favorable view of capitalism, with a sobering 8% having a favorable view of socialism in the new poll.
“The trend toward socialism among Democrats comes at a time when members of Congress such as self-described democratic socialists Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortez, (D-NY)., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-VT.), have had a growing influence on Democratic politics. Sanders, as chair of the Senate Budget Committee, has been leading a charge to pass a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill that he says is aimed at addressing wealth inequality.” – Fox News on the recent data.
Although the growth towards socialism has appeared to be slow, socialist ideas are being enacted more than swiftly in public policy. US Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) even described the new infrastructure bill as the “gateway to socialism” which has been endorsed and pushed by the so-called “moderate” President Biden (D).
The bill will include the expansion of government-funded programs such as tuition-free pre-K and community college, not to mention the expansion to Medicare that will ultimately become a universal centralized system, Blackburn is not too far off of reality, and the polls show it.
Careful what you wish for, because you might get it!
Once there, near impossible to remove.
But it CAN be removed with focused, concerted efforts.
“Out Damned Spot!!”
Some of them are just plain evil. And some of them are completely brainwashed. It is part of the communist plan.
And by the way. Socialism is about to get skipped. We are heading straight to communism.
The more entrenched we allow it to become, the more blood it will take to get rid of it.
2/3s of them are stupid and don’t even know what it means.
Their sinister plan is working, then.
Give them ‘free stuff’, get them ‘addicted’.....create fear (like a PlanDEMic) and make them think gov’t is the only ‘god’ who can take care of them. And, if they don’t comply....no more free stuff, or things like HEALTH *care* will be given/available to them.
Constantly bash this great nation, tell them this daily, in gov’t run schools, on the news, etc., and....eventually, you have them believing all of the leftist lies.
There are already two generations of schoolkids emotionally scrambled by CRT, Trans demands and COVID hysteria. Some may never fully unlearn all these brand new fears and suspicions.
socialism v capitalism. it is presented as a choice of economic systems
it is tyranny v liberty. using the term capitalism concedes the argument.
it is govt control v free enterprise
The public education system is achieving its goals .
free stuff. any free stuff in Venezuela now?
there was no welfare in the Soviet Union. It was a crime not to have a job.
the plan is moving along nicely - The Great Re-Set, the Green New Deal, everything will be free, you will own nothing, but be happy, etc. UBI is regularly promoted by taxpayer-funded, overpaid staff at ABC Australia
10 Aug updated 11 Aug: ABC Australia: Universal basic income attracts 77pc support in Anglicare poll
By business reporter Michael Janda\
The charity’s executive director Kasy Chambers says the pandemic welfare supplements proved that lifting people above the poverty line was economically possible with political will...
A survey of a thousand people commissioned by the charity shows more than three-quarters of Australians back a basic income guarantee above the poverty line.
In fact, more than half strongly support the concept, while only 3 per cent are strongly opposed.
It is an even stronger finding of support than one revealed in a YouGov survey conducted for The Green Institute late last year...

Excellent points.
Because the economies of North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela are so much better than that of the U.S.
That’s not new last year the Dems said the same thing!!
126 million took the vaxx so we may not have to worry about them after a couple years.
Yet, some on our side think we can somehow win these dems over and keep the country “unified.”
The majority of Democrats have preferred Socialism since FDR, just not by its proper name.
“What’s mine is mine; what’s yours is ours.”
Among other things, this is a reaction to the crony capitalism of our elites. We have not had capitalism in America since the Clinton administration.
yup. the Republicans in DC are becoming the “good Germans” while the dumocrats are turning full on National Socialist.
