May 6 (UPI) -- A majority of respondents say that socialism is incompatible with American values, a Monmouth University poll released Monday says.
Among Americans, 57 percent, call socialism not compatible with American values, with 29 percent saying it is compatible. Fort-two percent of respondents voiced a negative opinion of socialism in general, with only 10 percent offering a positive view. The remaining 45 percent called themselves neutral on the issue.
On the subject of capitalism, 39 percent have a positive opinion of capitalism in general, 17 percent hold a negative view and 40 percent are neutral.
**SNIP**
The majority agreed that socialism "takes away too many individual rights," with 35 percent saying it occurs a great deal and 25 percent agreeing somewhat. Thirteen percent say the phrase does not describe socialism much and 20 percent said it does not describe socialism at all.

The 29% could not even define socialism, as a large part of the 59 could not.

Who takes these polls anyway?
I would think 99.9% would be more accurate.
Let’s hope that majority votes in 2020.
The ‘majority’ would be 100%+.
It’s unconstitutional. F-Communists. F-Marxists. F-Globalists.
Most liberals say Sweden is a socialist country because it operates like a welfare state. They can’t tell the difference. They also say we already have limited socialism in the form of police and fire protection. They don’t know what it is, and they’ll vote for any politician like Bernie Sanders who promises socialism without explaining what it is. They have to find out later when it’s too late reject it.
The poll numbers are not comforting. Not at all. Thirty or 40 years ago, you probably would have found 5% with a good view of socialism.
Millennials are lucky that some of us care enough to try and stop socialism.
If the majority were like an acquaintance of mine who’s says “I’ll be dead in 20 years...not my problem”, they would learn to rue the day they voted for any socialist.
Islam is rooted in the laws of a merciless God. Hence it is inherently oppressive.
Liberty and Freedom are rooted in laws of a merciful God. Hence it is just.
Simplicity.
Socialism IS compatible with Islam.
Even the most retarded democrat understands that.
And that is exactly why they work so hard to change our national values.
That is why they have loaded the government schools and liberal colleges with radical leftists to inculcate school children with anti-America values.
That is why we see so many young people who think communism and socialism are wonderful ideas and that Americanism and capitalism are bad ideas.
There is no way this could ever be reversed unless the ultra-leftists, the crazies and enemies of America are purged from the education system top to bottom.
As is faggotry.
Rush was talking about it.
The thing that always gets me in these exercises is the 40 to 45% of people who can’t elucidate a preference. We have become a nation of “perambulating vegetables!” And because of their inability to make up their minds, we are “getting the government we deserve!” Shame on these idiots!

I’m concerned about the number of people who were neutral. Generally, that tends to mean, “I dunno.”
