[About half of millennials said they would rather live under socialism or communism than capitalism.]
Public school children have been indoctrinated in socialism since Middle School. Check the textbooks. “Stalin is cited more than George Washington. Corporations are evil, etc.” By the time they get to college, they are in lockstep with the mantra.
Yes, but they can't live without constantly using gadgets (including iPhones) that were developed because of capitalism.
They think that socialism/Communism will let them live ‘equally’ to ‘the rich’, but don't understand that it will actually force them to live worse than the poor in America live now.
The Re-Indoctrination Camps aka the University System needs to create a year long exchange “study abroad” program requirement in places like Venezuela, Cuba ....so that these kiddies can take their ideas for a test drive before they buy......
Any system of government or economy designed by man IS inherently evil, be it capitalism, democracy, republicanism, communism, dictatorship, or socialism, etc. It was only the mediating effect of Christianity that moderated the excesses of capitalism and allowed the people of the West (formerly known as Christendom) to prosper. Of course it was Christian principles that led to the downfall of communism in Eastern Europe. Of all man-made economic systems, capitalism can benefit people to a greater degree but there are problems associated with it.
With the West drawing away from the God of the Bible and embracing man-centred attempts at ‘equality’ (in man’s eyes), the excesses of capitalism will continue to be more prevalent, including the formation of oligarchies and monopolies. In ANY man-centred system, those with ability/power/extreme guile and of limited conscience, will rise to positions of power, attempting to CONTROL the masses.

Not surprising. Let's give them a peek at reality:
Per research by Victor Davis Hanson, more Vietnam civilians were killed in the two years following the communist capture of Saigon that during the ten preceding years.
