Axios ran a generation poll finding that 67% of GenZ college students have a favorable or neutral view of socialism. Only 40% feel the same way about capitalism.
They don’t associate problems with poor policies that have nothing to do with capitalism. Instead they blame it for high inflation, surging health care and housing costs and the rising influence of billionaires in politics, tech and media.
It is part of the partisan divide:
- 47% of Democratic respondents and 31% of independents — but just 5% of Republicans — react positively to socialism.
- 45% of Republicans, but just 17% of independents and 7% of Democrats, have positive reactions to capitalism.
Gallup polling found that Democrats view socialism more positively than capitalism, 66% to 42%. Among all voters, 54% view capitalism favorably — down from 60% in 2021.
Four years ago, we heard a third of college students prefer communism. People need to think carefully before they send their children to college. It’s one part of the problem, which is spreading rapidly. There are a few universities that are still reliable, including Franciscan, Liberty, Heritage.
MORE THAN A THIRD of millennials polled APPROVE OF COMMUNISM. And yet, people still deny how dangerous the left-wing indoctrination has become. pic.twitter.com/IjZmWcmsPp

Unfortunately, we see a lot of crony capitalism in our government and that’s not capitalism. It is the result of bad government policies.
This is a product of 50+ years of New World education in our schools, with all common sense removed. Now, we are into the third generation of kids raised in homes with parents who are clueless about morals and hard work.
Yes, I recall many of the younger teachers in my small-town Northwest High School preaching socialism and leftist politics to us back in the late 1960’s. And to this day, a large percentage of Baby Boomers lean towards the hard left.
Every time one has an ‘evil’ thought…say a prayer for yourself. Hopefully, eventually, good will triumph…
Wait until these elitist children meander into the real world, clueless and without the skills needed to succeed at the lofty levels they have planned for themselves. Their culpable parents will be stuck with them.
Some folks will do anything to get out of working.
