The Admiral 11/02/17 2:54:06 PM #1:	https://www.marketwatch.com/story/millennials-communism-sounds-pretty-chill-2017-11-01 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. Whats more, 22% of them have a favorable view of Karl Marx and a surprising number see Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Un as heroes. ... Millennials now make up the largest generation in America, and were 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. But do they even know what it is? The survey, which was conducted by research and data firm YouGov, found that millennials are the least knowledgable generation on the subject, with 71% failing to identify the proper definition of communism. Smith explained that this troubling turn highlights pervasive historical illiteracy across the country and the systemic failure of our education system to teach students about the genocide, destruction, and misery caused by communism since the Bolshevik Revolution one hundred years ago. Other findings include the belief held by 53% of millennials that Americas economic system works against them, which is the same percentage in the prior study. Meanwhile, 66% of Gen Z, ages 16-20, say the system works for them. tldr: millennials are completely ignorant about what socialism/Communism really are Only silver lining seems to be that Gen Z is already much more educated. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:889630934] in Study: Ove...

Most people I come across want to work, but the job options they have are dead end with little to no benefits so the other option is to go into soul crushing debt to get a degree that offers them only a slight chance of getting a good job. The reason socialism/communism is popular is because it sounds like a better deal than what people are getting right now. Why do you think Communism took Russia by storm 100 years ago?
