One of the latest polls shows a majority of millenials would prefer to live under a socialist, fascist or communist system rather than a capitalist one.
One of the Virginia Democrats elected in last week's special election. Lee Carter, is a young unreconstructed socialist, and a member of the far-left Democratic Socialists of America. That organization has seen a fivefold increase in its membership, from about 6,000 to now 30,000.
Disillusion with free markets and capitalism is often cited as the reason for this phenomenon. According to an interview with a millennial socialist in The Guardian:
“Everyone has student loan debt and everyone’s rents are exorbitant and everyone’s paying like $300-a-month premiums for Obamacare. It’s common sense for people my age.”
None of those complaints have anything to do with capitalism, they are byproducts of creeping socialism. Rents are high because leftist NIMBYs refuse to allow housing to be built. Student loan debt is a direct function of government funds freely available to universities for loans, which gives them every incentive to raise prices sky high. Obamacare speaks for itself, there's no freedom of choice in its mandates for insurance companies and no willing-buyer, willing seller dynamic for consumers. All of these are full blown byproducts of socialism. Want more of these horrors? By all means elect more socialists.
That's where the issue of ignorance rolls in. Millennials have no education to speak of on the horrors of socialism. That may be the triumph of the influence of President Obama's mentor, Bill Ayers, who made it his lifework to destroy America as a free society. The Weatherman terrorist turned to early childhood education. Much of what isn't known is how deeply he infused educational lessons into indoctrination, an indoctrination that promoted Marxism and ignored the crimes of socialism.

I’d live under a fascist caudillo like Franco or Pinochet in a heartbeat versus the other two options
Those evil fascists saved their countries and cultures and identity
Course our identity being white is shite
Can’t save it
Must be destroyed
Pinochet weren’t a racist. No third way socialism with him.
Wasn’t a facist*
He saved Chilé
He hit on 11 of the 14 fascist or not test
I don’t care if he was a fascist
Fascism isn’t ideal but it beats communism or serious socialism
Yes Augustos embrace or open capitalism and lack of romantic uber nationalism are facism non markers
It appears to me that Bill Ayers—like Kissinger, Klintoons, Soros, Brezinski, OBummer, et al, a list of other recent tyrants and oligarchy chief stooges—has insured a well earned reserved cell in hell. What a piece of ?human? garbage.

You DO realize that whole “F Scale” thing from The Authoritarian Personality (I assume that’s what you’re referring to) was bogus and only created by the Frankfurt School to push the false premise that Fascists were right-wingers, right?
Franco and Pinochet were NOT fascists. Now, that being said, I do agree that they were right-wing dictators (which, while not ideal, is infinitely preferable to communism and/or serious socialism, not to mention anarchism, which I’d say is firmly on the left).
Tha capital D hurt my ears
Sorry, I’m unsure on how to emphasize words without all caps.
Lol
