Generation Commie – Why Millennials are Embracing Communism

America has a new and growing internal security threat. This new threat is not ISIS, nor is it Rocket Man’s sleeper agents wandering downtown Seattle with a six pack of SADM’s; nor is it Morning Joe with a chain saw in a room full of interns.

The new threat wafting across the country, meandering through the nation’s streets, and floating through the country’s neighborhoods like a poison gas is the Millennial Generation’s love affair with socialism and communism.

“Millennials now make up the largest generation in America, and we’re seeing some deeply worrisome trends,” said Marion Smith, executive director of the organization. “Millennials are increasingly turning away from capitalism and toward socialism and even communism as a viable alternative.”

According to the latest survey from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a D.C.-based nonprofit, one in two U.S. Millennials say they would rather live in a socialist or communist country than a capitalist democracy.

Close to 20 percent said they were likely to vote for a self-described communist, while barely 50 percent said they were likely to vote for a self-described capitalist.

Millennials were also more likely to take a favorable view of communist leaders. According to the poll, “Nearly one-in-five Millennials consider Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong-un ‘heroes,’ Twenty-three percent of Americans between 21 and 29 consider Stalin a hero. Twenty-six percent of them consider Lenin a hero. These are two of the biggest mass murderers in world history. Thirty-four percent were favorable to Karl Marx, and 37 percent were favorable to revolutionary and T-shirt fixture Che Guevara. One-fifth of Millennials surveyed had a positive opinion of Karl Marx.

Even more shocking, a full third of Millennials believe U.S. president George W. Bush is responsible for more deaths than Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. Stalin, of course, killed 20 million during his 29-year run as the chief political figure in the USSR. Between two and seven million people were killed in the Ukraine thanks to a policy of state-engineered famine, while millions more were executed or died in labor camps following various political purges.

What in the name of God is going on in the minds of Millennials? Why are they embracing and glorifying the despotic ideologies responsible for the deaths of 100 million people in the 20th Century?

The Millennial Generation has only experienced a booming US economy as little children in the mid and late 1990’s. As teenagers and young adults, they have watched as many of their parents were laid off from jobs being outsourced to China, as many of their parents had homes foreclosed on, and as parents were forced to accept low-paying part time jobs with limited or zero health care benefits for their families.

Millennials who attend college and graduate school are in debt up to their eyeballs and many cannot find work once they earn degrees, which have become largely worthless in a world of ever shifting and expanding technology and artificial intelligence.

They are disillusioned like the shell-shocked masses that survived World War I and were seeking answers from anyone who could throw a wrecking ball into the class structure of pre-WWI Europe.

Like many who lived through the worldwide depression in Europe and America in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, they believe that ending capitalism will create a magical land of equality for all.

They are dead wrong. Millennials are searching for answers and, in the process, grasping on to the hand of the devil himself.

The world has been down this road before. The road leads to only one place, the hell of Marxist-Leninism, where out of the fantastical ideas of utopia, comes one of the greatest frauds fraught upon humanity. The so-called worker’s paradise is, was and always will be nothing more than a penal colony sketched in the charcoal grey lifestyle of the communist state, where millions suffer at the hands of a few; all the while toiling, clawing through misery and clamoring for the final and glorious state of communism that has never existed and never will.

Another striking feature from the poll was actually something many have suspected – Millennials’ complete lack of intellectual curiosity for anything that doesn’t resemble an IPhone app or a video game. The study found that 71% of Millennials could not pinpoint the definition of communism. They just like it. But they don’t know how to define it. Communism was defined right in front of them; they couldn’t choose it. They didn’t know what it was. Eighty percent, 80% of Millennials did not know how many lives were lost as a result of communism.

Millennials are literally Marxism’s little minions at colleges across the country. No doubt university professors have tilted left for at least 50 years. In the 1980’s we laughed at them. To little Alex P. Keaton’s, Ferris Bueller’s and Chuck Norris’ sitting in classrooms, our professors were socialist enemies of the Reagan Revolution; anti-American louts who were impediments to our eventual victory over the commies and our future millions to be made in the real world.

But, Millennials aren’t laughing at their professors. They’re following them like labor camp martinets, like the mute Eloi to the eventual Morlock abattoir, courtesy of Marx and Engels.

Millennials are not being taught the horrors of 20th Century socialism and communism. To Millennials socialism and communism are good alternatives to capitalism, not the forces of genocide, destruction and misery for hundreds of millions across the globe.

According to Rush Limbaugh, “There’s no such thing as utopia. But in communism circles, there is. It’s there. It’s there. We’ve been close a couple times. We haven’t gotten there yet, but we can get there. When you have enough money and the right people, we could get there. And that’s how it’s portrayed. America is imperfect, not capable of being perfected. America’s racist and bigoted, it’s unfair, it’s mean-spirited. And this is how these young people have been raised. It’s how they’ve been taught. They have no idea how to define communism. They just think it’s fairer. It’s more sustainable.”

Millennials are being taught that Reaganomics caused massive suffering across the country, when in fact it contributed to the biggest economic boom in our history.

Besides the brainwashing going on, the fact remains that Millennials never experienced the Cold War. To them it’s ancient history, an app they can delete, a picture they can swipe away.

They know nothing about the sacrifices of US pilots to supply Berlin during the airlift in 1948, or the Wall that divided that city from 1961 to 1989. They’ve never heard of the brave Hungarians facing down Russian tanks in 1956. They know little of Khrushchev and how his false belief that JFK was weak, brought the world to the edge of nuclear Armageddon in 1962. They are ignorant of a nation’s Prague Spring, a workers’ rebellion in the dockyards of Gdansk that led to a movement called Solidarity. They have never heard of monsters like Pol Pot and thugs like Honecker. They know very little about freedom’s disciples like Pope John Paul II and Reagan and Thatcher.

Most importantly, they have no idea that the ideologies they embrace as useful economic alternatives, were responsible for the starvation, liquidation and mass murder of nearly 100 million souls who died in the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the peasant farms of the Ukraine, the cellars in LeFortovo and a million other places from Murmansk to Meiningen.

They are unaware and that is the most dangerous thing of all.

For their whole lives, Millennials have been lauded, spoiled and douted on, as if they were the first generation to ever walk this earth; as if the special treatment they received would somehow make them better than all who went before; as if the trophies they didn’t earn and the ludicrous hyper-supervision and micro-management of their lives would make them better than previous generations.

Then, in 2016, along came an old communist, posing as a “Democratic Socialist”, while hiding under the banner of an Independent. To older people, we saw him coming all the way from the Kremlin, where he once had his honeymoon. To Millennials he was and is the Pied Piper, not of Hamelin, but of Petrograd. He told them he could give them everything for free. They would never have to pay for education again and the government would erase their debts. He told them he would give them free health care, just like they have in Cuba, in Venezuela and in North Korea. He told them that the government would take care of them and run their lives just like their parents and teachers did.

And, they loved him for it.

Yes, Comrade Bernie Sanders is only the beginning. He is the voice of a generation. Not of his own, freeze dried hippie generation, but of the Millennial Generation. He represents the state and to the left, the state is God.

Supporters of Sanders will tell you he’s just a socialist, like those guys in Sweden, who run your lives every day with a million regulations created by nameless bureau-thugs in the EU parliament.

Democratic Socialists will tell you that it’s not communism, even though they hate capitalism. Maybe some free market organizations will still be allowed. Sure they will. Isn’t it funny, how the old commies in Eastern Europe are setting up communist parties under the guise of Democratic Socialism?

Socialism, Democratic Socialism, Communism: it all leads to one place, a snow packed barbed wire camp in the Gulag Archipelago. It all leads to tyranny, oppression and death.

When half of the largest generation in the country, a generation that will one day be leading this nation believes in socialism and communism, you’ve got a problem.

Millennials would be wise to start reading about the ideologies they embrace and which are now on the ash heap of history. They would be wise to listen to the words of President Reagan, who said so eloquently, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

As I've written about the dozen or so other times this poll was posted in one form or another...

I know it's fashionable to consider Millenials a bunch of self-absorbed Obamabots. In fact, every generation of elders thinks the youths are a pack of losers. It happens.

But recall Trump's speech before the Boy Scouts last summer...he TORE IT UP and the Scouts? They LOVED IT. Kids who are now 15 will get to vote in 2020. Young millenials will also vote. Some men, you just can't reach. But those at the margin, they're likely converts...as long as we don't alienate them.

Any poll etc speaking of Millenials being this or that should be treated with suspicion (more on this later). Specifically, Deplorable parents are undoubtedly advising Deplorable millenials to hang up when a telemarketer calls, or walk away from dopes with clipboards, or not surrendering their IP address and filling out some online poll, thus causing an underweighting in polls.

Finally, remember that by most accounts, at the time of the Revolution, 20% were Loyalists, 33-45% were Patriots, and the rest were ballast. If you replace Loyalist with statist, and Patriots with Deplorables, we are right where we started.

I thnk we are seeing history repeat itself. The left/Loyalists are painting the Patriots/Deplorables as intransigent dolts who must be brought to their knees and Kiss the Ring, for their own good. However, the Patriots/Deplorables are not going quietly into the night, using new media to outsmart the Establishment and bring otherwise neutral parties to the side of truth and freedom.

In turn, the kids of Deplorables likely are as much "underground" as are their parents in polls, etc. The whining Antifa losers get all the airtime.

Where the Deplorable, responsible Millenials ARE visible, among other places, is on memes and the like....have you ever seen how many pro-Trump meme pics there are vs anti-Trump? I doubt that's coming from a bunch of geezers.

(Hat tip to CopperTop) While we're at it, if you choose to READ THE ACTUAL STUDY you'd see all sorts of problems on top of what I listed:

-The results are from an Online Survey!
-Sample size is 2,300 people from the public, age 16+...about the same number of people going to a local hall to catch some 1980s Band Reunion Tour.
-Millenials make up 559 people in this sample...so we're going to extrapolate across millions of Millenials on the basis of a few hundred souls who answered an online poll?
-even with all this statistical sampling mumbo-jumbo, the talking heads failed to note that 7 in 10 Millennials (like Americans as a whole) either don’t know the definition of communism or misidentify it. So if you're bashing the kidz, we should look in the mirror as well.
-whites had the highest favorable view of communism over any other race...they also had the highest unfavorable proportion of any race. Indeed, if you look at the favorable and unfavorable percentages, it looks like some dopes held the same views!!

I call BS on this study. I'm not saying the little whippers don't need to have some smart pills. But a little critical analysis would behoove all of us, especially as we endeavor to get more folks on the MAGA train to win again in 2020.

And now, in the words of that great sage, Clark Griswold, where's the Tylenol?

[reaganaut]

Because they were born after the Cold War. They know nothing of what it really is.

[EdnaMode]

They can always move to a communist or socialist country.

[KC Burke]

I remember some Russian being interviewed and his citing that, no, there were no true believers in communism in Russia anymore, they only existed in American Universities.

[CJ Wolf]

they aren’t. least the ones I know. pretty much the opposite, they are as fed up as the rest of us.

[CJ Wolf]

they don’t believe it.

[magna carta]

BINGO and nobody will cover what has been going on in education for years-DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN

[CJ Wolf]

Political Correctness? they think it’s a joke.

[Be Careful]

It’s called “Slacktivism”...just wait until the lines get too long.....

[CJ Wolf]

they also know how to answer “correctly” on the exams.

[Art in Idaho]

Ping

[redangus]

Ding, ding, we have a winner.

[laplata]

Political Correctness? they think it’s a joke.

><

Who thinks it’s a joke?

[CJ Wolf]

millennials, have you listened to any of the songs out lately or the way they talk? there is no political correctness.

[laplata]

I understand that and many are waking up to the farce that it is but plenty of people of all ages live by PC.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Western Leftists aren't orthodox Marxists; they're far too nihilistic for that. Sure, they support socially conservative Stalinist states elsewhere because it's trendy and "rebellious" to do so. But they're so screwed up on outer-directed self-hatred, idiotic racialism, and sexual anarchy, that they'd never permit their "socialist America" to turn out that way. North Korea isn't run by hippies and hippies don't mind, but they're bound and determined that only hippies will rule here.

And btw, Neither Marx, Engels, Lenin, nor Stalin obsessed about "white privilege." The current racialism isn't really Marxism at all, though it certainly slap's Karl's grinning puss on itself as an avatar.

[PGR88]

Many Americans will sell their freedom for a handful of magic beans.

[TrueFact]

Exactly. Them: fork over your retirement savings because “you have more than you need”. Reparations for slavery? Bring it on and use your money to pay for it! If you are white you’re the problem. Trump is stupid.

I could go on but I’m making myself really ticked off.

[CJ Wolf]

PC is a joke. always been a joke. It will keep you out of trouble if you follow it when needed.

There are always some hippydactyls that are out of sorts to squawk when offended, these same hippydactyls will relish in devouring your remains if they can, whilst telling everyone how horrible you are.

Recently they seemed to have gained some power somehow. Probably thru good olde fashioned bullying techniques.

The universal truth of the 1st amendment reigns supreme and most everyone young and old knows what’s right...

[Newtoidaho]

My theory is most millennials are so lazy the idea of laying about a commune, doing nothing and sponging off the labor of everyone else greatly appeals to them.
