There needs to be some sort of punishment for teachers who indoctrinate children into socialism.
if so, their parents have failed them miserably
but they will find out (some lessons are only, or best learned the hard way)
The question is, what do they think socialism is?
Many think it’s the brightest people in the room, making the decisions to allocate resources fairly.
The Stupid Party is too gutless to call him what he is: A Communist. Republicans always tiptoe around anything controversial. It’s pathetic.
Socialism is the elite and then the rest of you.
They all think they will be the elite.
Get boats and planes together. They don’t have to dream; we will help them to one of the many socialist places right now.
Young Americans Dream Of A Socialist Future?
Probably because the Capitalist got too greedy. S**t happens.
If you want to know America’s future, study South America.
Debt, government expenditure, government insider corruption, activist socialism, demographics/race, education trends, urban crime, wealth and social disparity - all trending that direction
Some people think of socialism along the lines of European countries which have socialized medicine, long family leaves for children, etc. They are not thinking of communist countries in which people don’t have personal freedoms.
I was talking to someone recently about that. He said he would hate to live under communism, but thought some socialism is ok.

In a small homogenous country, sure. But in a large multi-cultural country, it would be a disaster.
You nailed it! When you destroy your middle class stuff hits the fan.
Brainwashing works on some people.
Republicans are too busy constantly labeling these blood thirsty collectivists as “liberals”. That gives them cover. These people are so far from liberal, it’s astounding. Yet, idiot Republicans still call them liberals. How can you defeat an enemy you can’t even identify properly.
Send them to an actual socialist nation to live as a regular person there, for 1 year. No inner party perks or bennies.
We’ll see how many want socialism after that.
Seems they don’t know much about it. They won’t like it for long.
What they see is a "capitalist" system that demands they spend a lot of time and money getting educated, working hard but rewarded with very little, and often forced to work more than 40 hours a week unpaid because they are on salary.
Their pay won't even allow them to rent an apartment by themselves or buy a car. They may also be laid off at any time, may or may not get health insurance and have little, if any, PTO.
And most of all, little prospect that will change.
With socialism they are counting on a small and crappy apartment, but one which they can afford, "free" health insurance and 4 weeks PTO: more or less like Europe.
Our current crony "capitalism" offers them low pay with lots of stress, socialism offers them the same diminished expectations but with much less stress and more benefits.
That's why it appears to them to be a rational choice.
If you want to change that, the market has to be changed so the share of national income going to labor rises to something like it was in the 1960s.
As they’ve been taught
