"A deeper dive into Gallup’s latest poll shows a decided lack of interest in the kind of government control that socialism would entail. Asked if they had a positive or negative image of various things, respondents gave very high marks to small business, entrepreneurship, and free enterprise, and 56 percent approval to capitalism. The federal government and socialism lagged far behind at 39 and 37 percent. (These are numbers for all respondents, not just young people as above.)" https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/young-people-socialism-do-they-know-what-it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promise of sharing everything but no mention of who pays for this. Government isn't benevolent! It's a potential noose around every citizen's neck. Knowledge is the only thing holding these would be dictatorial politicians in check. Ignorance is their means of control! Schools are the means to ensure ignorance. Now they don't teach students of find the truth for themselves. Today, they tell the students what they want them to know, and call it educating them. Mao "educated millions" and killed many of them.
