Evidence of our excellent school system is on display here - from The Washington Free Beacon:
Millennials Pretty Cool With Socialism
A report released Monday reveals a growing acceptance of socialist and Marxist viewpoints among younger Americans born after the Cold War.
Nearly half—45 percent—of those aged between 16 and 20 years old said they would vote for a socialist, while one in five responded they would vote for a communist, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation found.
Reasons for the widespread backing Bernie Sanders garnered among millennials during the primary election were also evident in the survey, with younger generations expressing greater support for remarks made by the Vermont senator than quotes from the Bible or free market economist Milton Friedman.
This trend, dubbed the Bernie Sanders “bounce,” was also evident in findings that less than half of young Americans viewed capitalism favorably. Nearly three in four millennials favored policies promoted by Sanders versus just over half who preferred those put forward by Friedman.
Marion Smith, executive director of the organization, said in a statement the study confirms the group’s fears that “an emerging generation of Americans have little understanding of the collectivist system and its dark history.”
This sentiment is particularly notable in the lack of knowledge among young Americans of communist leaders.
Read the whole thing - the report (PDF) is grim. People fail to study their history and are reaping the benefits.
The fact that these people vote makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Re millennials as lefties: When these kids take charge, be ready for them to offer us bonuses to leave the scene early and save medical costs. They're all heart.
