Modest Declines in Positive Views of ‘Socialism’ and ‘Capitalism’ in U.S. Many Democrats say socialism meets people’s basic needs; Republicans say it restricts individual freedoms The American public continues to express more positive opinions of “capitalism” than “socialism,” although the shares viewing each of the terms positively have declined modestly since 2019.

Today, 36% of U.S. adults say they view socialism somewhat (30%) or very (6%) positively, down from 42% who viewed the term positively in May 2019. Six-in-ten today say they view socialism negatively, including one-third who view it very negatively.

Many Democrats

That's what happens when these bogus "pollsters" target pot smoking, unemployed, video game addicts living in their parent's basements. Libertarians have a very skewed perspective of reality.

That’s because while their taste for socialism is falling, their taste for fascism is rising…

People who support socialism don’t know what it is and have not read their economic history. From New Harmony, IN, to modern-day Venezuela, history is strewn with the wreckage of socialism. Capitalism may not be the best economic system but it’s way out in front of whatever is in second place.

“...socialism meets people’s basic needs...”

Individual rights are not considered basic needs to socialists.
