Academia/Media

Preschool through PhD through major news networks.

I find it hard to believe that 87% of those surveyed know the difference between Capitalism and Socialism. Sounds to me like a lot of respondents guessed.

I’ve always maintained that no socialist should be allowed to own or use any product or service that was created by capitalism.

Marx and Engles wrote in the Communist manifesto “From each according to his ability To each according to his needs” but our Americanized version is “From those who can and do To those who could but won’t, why should they when they can employ the police power of government and TAKE IT from those who can and do then GIVE IT to those who could...but won’t.

With all the indoctrination people have received over the last 20 years, 13% is lower than I expected.

I tell my students that communism/marxism/leninism/maoism/socialism,etc. is an almost perfect economic and social model, HOWERVER when you insert humans into it, it fails miserably because, we are humans.

I then tell them, if you love communism et. al. become a beekeeper because only in bees/wasp/termites/ants can communism be seen perfected.

Pretty sure more than 50% could not define either Capitalism nor Socialism.

87% in Tulsa. What would the numbers have been in a student-heavy blue area... say Ithaca, NY? Or Berkley? Or NYC? Or Boston?

“Stunning that 13% are that ignorant/corrupt”

I’m impressed it was not many more in that category what with it being Tulsa and Oklahoma.

If you the 13% number is bad, just imagine what the number would be in New York City.

Used to be referred to as “GIGO,” garbage in, garbage out.

Now it’s “ASPSQESA,” ask stupid people stupid questions, expect stupid answers . . .

87% of respondents voted for capitalism.

I fear we're going to see a very different result in NYC soon.
