Poll: Nearly Half of Millennials Would Prefer Living in a Communist or Socialist Country
westernjournalism.com ^ | 11/5/17 | Jack Davis

When former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee heard about survey of America’s millennials, he was able to find a bright spot even though the survey showed vast support for communism and socialism.

“A shocking new survey of Millennials found that half say they would rather live in a socialist or communist country than in a capitalist democracy,” Huckabee wrote on his Facebook page.

“Well, good news, kids: thanks to capitalism, there are planes leaving the US for one of those 24/7,” Huckabee wrote.

I think they expect some sort of democratic socialist lifestyle such as Sweden enjoyed for many years. But as you point out - given our tribalism - created in the last 40 years by libs - we will descend into Venezuela. A banana republic.

How about a Go Fund Me page to send these misfits to the Socialist/Communist country of their choice? I’d kick in a generous donation to get rid of these Democrat voters.

WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING IN SCHOOLS THESE DAYS

Not only WHAT. but by WHOM? All those 60’s hippies and radicals much of America thought was funny and/or chic back then. It was a ruse by the communists that Joe McCarthy tried to warn us about and the country called him a kook.

Suggest they try Venezuela. Maybe a gofundme page?

For those still in school, an object lesson having the A students take a C to bring up the F students would be helpful. “From each according to their ability...”

As a subject of a socialist/communist regime, the people are considered to be property of the state.

Look at this quote from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead, 1958

"…but the fact remained that this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

> showed vast support for communism and socialism <

This is a measure of our failing educational and social culture, not individual rational thought.

I would donate to a kick-starter campaign to help them leave.

...

One way tickets.

If they do ever make it back they can tell everybody what it was like.

I understand that Cuba is opening up for these young folks to go flocking to, as well.

Actually, Islam is a crude form of socialism, with an added little attraction, it is also an iron-fisted theocracy practicing some perverted form of “religion”, worshiping some god, Moloch or Ba’al or Ahriman, derived from a local cult that existed along with that of the much more ethical Zoroastrians and Hebrews.

Someday, when the likes of me are gone, they’ll be able to get their wish.

They’re not going to like it.

This is because their idea of communism is our current situation, but with them getting a free monthly check. Tell them the reality that they will have to work in the salt mines and see what the survey says.

Yes, I’m starting to think they should move to a socialist country also. They will either fit in, or learn that some old-fashioned hard work is a good idea.

These millennials must think that they’ll get all the trappings of a largely capitalist and free economic system; e.g., Starbuck’s drinks, iPhones, music downloads, Netflix, vegan, organic and non-GMO food choices, designer eyeglasses, and a variety of healthcare choices, but that everything will be provided by the government. No one will actually have to work for anything.

As Rush would say, they’re just young skulls full of mush.
What they want is the MSNBC Made For Television version of socialism.

Nearly half and few of the rest know any history,have been taught nothing of the Founding and can be convinced of anything that sounds like real pie in the sky. These people are our future captains of industry and political leaders. The Republic is over.

The result of our public education system and pop culture slowly being taken over by 60’s hippies/closet comunists the past 30-40 years. Exactly what they wanted.
