62% aged 18 to 29 had a “favorable view” of socialism. Then again, more than a third of young people hold favorable views of communism.

They may get it good and hard in NYC.

I’ve noticed it’s the young kids that gravitate towards this. The next couple generations are screwed.

No, it’s astroturf and magical thinking by the media who are socialists and want ti normalize socialism, just like sodomy and all their other weirdness.

No, and those that try to enforce socialist policy WILL find out. The producers still outnumber the gimmidats.

Most don’t look at history or understand where these “isms” came from or what they’re really about, and the schools want it this way. Instead we are taught that socialism and Marxism are popular ideas and it’s hip to follow them. But the Marxists themselves don’t explain how it actually works, just how awful everything else, like capitalism, is.

Communism is merely socialism with guns.

Pretending that one is in favor of socialism is popular (i.e., makes one popular... especially with the girls).

The problem is that hardly anyone realizes that most of the other people in his "in-group" of champagne socialists or hardcore Marxists are likewise "passing."

Their Third World Immigration Invasion isn’t is popular with Americans that they think it is. Georgie Soros has to pay those maggots you see on TV carrying silly signs and kissing miggy butts.

Define “Socialism”.

Many think it’s the smartest people in the room, making all the big decisions for “The Greater Good” (The Greater Good).

“Socialism” to most people who view it favorably is the equivalent of “gimme free stuff and have the “rich” pay for it.” Its a justification for voting themselves money so that they don’t feel guilty about it. So they dress it up in class struggle.

If the majority would vote for this, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections.

I published 57 articles in the paper and magazines. I wrote a proposal to author a column for the “Tallahassee Democrat” where I proposed to provide comment and commentary on the Republican side of political issues. The editor’s response was shocking. She reacted like she was being confronted by a dangerous lunatic. She explained in what I’ll describe as a first-grade teacher’s voice that they only allowed their reporters to wrote on sensitive topics. All of their reporters had been to college so they “knew how to handle” political issues. Someone who had not been through college couldn’t possibly understand the intricacies of complex political issues. I think this explains why “the media” thinks socialism is “popular.”

Most of the media lives in a bubble and echo chamber. They project and normalize their own biases and extremism. Socialism is just one of MANY examples of this.

This brand of socialism is Marxist Communism.

Let’s be honest.

Socialism, communism... all these ideas sound good to the self perceived have-nots, those feeling entitled to a free lunch.

They are usually losers.

“Is socialism as popular as the media think?

It is NOT and never WAS.

That's why their methods are SO crooked. No one in their right mind would voluntarily accept a socialist agenda!!

The popularity of socialism is based on ignorance. It goes along with President Reagan’s proverb:
Communists are those who read Karl Marx. Anti-communists are those who understand Karl Marx.”
