A growing number of Millennials show support for communism and socialism, a survey from the Victims of Communism found.
The survey, conducted by the Victims of Communism and polled by the research and data firm YouGov, found that 70% of Millennials are likely to vote socialist and that one in three Millennials perceive communism as “favorable.” The survey is part of the Victims of Communism’s report “U.S. Attitudes Toward Socialism, Communism, and Collectivism,” which polled 2,100 people in the United States who were 16 and older with a margin of error of +/- 2.4%.
A little over half of the Millennials polled said the Declaration of Independence “guarantees freedom and equality” better than the Communist Manifesto. (RELATED: 70% Of Russians Approve Of Mass Murderer Joseph Stalin’s Impact On Country: Poll)

“The historical amnesia about the dangers of communism and socialism is on full display in this year’s report,” said Marion Smith, executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

“When we don’t educate our youngest generations about the historical truth of 100 million victims murdered at the hands of communist regimes over the past century, we shouldn’t be surprised at their willingness to embrace Marxist ideas,” Smith added. “We need to redouble our efforts to educate America’s youth about the history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today.”
Millennials polled also said they consider President Donald Trump the “biggest threat to world peace,” rating Trump as more dangerous to world peace than Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, or Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Ten percent of Millennials said Trump is “responsible for more deaths and human rights abuses” than mass-murder and Russian leader Joseph Stalin or notorious German dictator Adolf Hitler.
But, as in the old Charles Atlas ad, they’ll have some sand kicked in their face and that will represent reality for them.
2.7 out of 3 teachers agree
or in “Boomer Math” 27 out of 30 agree
Non compos mentis
We need to reopen the state mental facilities
So much for fighting WWI/II+, the People voted in Socialism+ ‘voluntarily’; w/ an ‘opposition’ party going over the cliff @ 30 MPH instead of 60. *SMH*
The cause of their thinking:
1. National media is communist!
2. Failure to teach history in grade, junior and high school!
We see what letting the leftists educate our children has done...
How many of these people are college grads and how many are blue collar. Because I just don’t hear this from working class folks. Again another worthless poll that fits a narrative.
And 2/3rds of them have no idea what Auschwitz is. Breathtaking on both counts.
Does not bode well for our future. Could we become the new Venezuela?
Churchill predicted it:
“[T]he whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”
I’ve often thought that it might be a good idea to kick all 18 year olds outta the country for a couple of weeks. Give them a couple of grand, tell them you can go anywhere you like but you can’t stay here in the US.
I think it might be an excellent investment.
Throw them out of the country. Plenty of commie paradises in need of useful idiots.
Funny, they never lived through the existence of the Soviet Union, and they think China is mainly “unfair.”
They compare Trump to Pol Pot. And they haven’t even read, “The Killing Fields.”
This is indicative of the failure of the education system and the feminization of young men through the single parent family.
Hate to say this, but there a whole HUGE amount of our business sector, who is completely sold out to communists.
A huge amount.
Both parties, have been selling out as quickly as they possibly could.
For real.
Look at (anything) you buy anymore.
Anything. Really.
“Made in China”
Now ask yourself, how is it, that seems odd that our youth are increasingly supportive of communism.
Our businesses have been supporting them for thirty darned years.
Thirty years.
Everyone.
Our education system says: “Communism is when everything is free, and everyone is happy all the time.”
Question: “Do you have a favorable view of communism?”
Answer: Two out of three Millennials say — “You can’t fool me with that propaganda.”
Does not bode well for our future. Could we become the new Venezuela?
One of the benefits of immigration.
I will assume of course that you would be the one funding that. Awfully big of you!
