‘This report clearly reveals a need for educating our youth on the dangerous implications of socialist ideals’.

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.

What’s more, 22% of them have a favorable view of Karl Marx and a surprising number see Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Un as “heroes.”

Really, that’s what the numbers show.

“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 America’s economic system works against them, which is the same percentage in the prior study.

“This report clearly reveals a need for educating our youth on the dangerous implications of socialist ideals.” Smith said.

Everyone pack a suitcase and report to your local NKVD office. We have nice song to play for you there:

Voditel layet kak sobaka
Proydite grazhdane vperyod.

We are on our way to tbilisi, i mean siberia.

That's the sad part, they are all walking around with that sign on their backs that says "kick me", but don't know it.

I wonder if they realize how Stalin would have treated Transgendered People and "Genderqueers"?

Dean Reed--a good example. Most people never even heard of him, but he was a 50's vintage Rock 'n Roller who became infatuated with Marxism and moved to Russia and was useful to them until he wasn't and then they killed him in the late 80's.
