It's official. 50% of Millennial are Libtards.
Wow, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This is truly a failure of our public school system - or a great success if you're a Communist. The United States has stood as a symbol against Communism since it became a mainstream political ideology. We defeated the Soviet Union and that poisonous and evil economic system. But when I see stuff like this, I question whether or not we really won the cold war.
And I have to wonder how many of these pinko millennial run around crying about Russia, yet they embrace the political system marked the worst period of Russia's history. What is wrong with these people? Are they completely unable to learn from history?

Millennials: Communism sounds pretty chill

‘This report clearly reveals a need for educating our youth on the dangerous implications of socialist ideals’
By Shawn Langlois
In a Halloween tweet that’s since gone viral, Donald Trump Jr. jokingly (although who really knows these days?) took the opportunity to impart an important political lesson to his cute little daughter.
Perhaps he should share his wisdom with millennials.
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 now make up the largest generation in America, and we’re 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 America’s 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.
When it comes to the wealth divide, Americans seem to be on the same page, with 80% saying it’s a serious issue, up from 78% a year ago. They also mostly agree (68%) that the highest earners don’t pay their fair share in taxes.
“This report clearly reveals a need for educating our youth on the dangerous implications of socialist ideals.” Smith said. “We will continue to work with educators to build curriculum to address this important need.”

If you're young and not liberal you don't have a conscience , if you're old and not conservative you don't have any money. The adage is still true.
Re: It's official. 50% of Millennial are Libtards.
50% would be the low end of my estimate.

Millennials are the most ignorant generation this country has ever produced. If they want a socialist dream state, then we should set up a program to fund their plane/boat ticket to the socialist state of their choice. It would be soooo much cheaper than keeping them here.

Millennials in America that favor socialism and communism have excrement jobs and student debt from their African studies degree. They work at Target and their life sucks. Millenials with good jobs and no debt don’t wear Che t shirts or any of that bullshit. The whole “you didn’t build that” and “white privilege” bullshit is born out of jealousy from people that have excrement jobs and lives. There is not some communist movement in America in the middle class or above.UpstateSCHokie wrote:Wow, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

They would crap their pants when they went to Denmark and realized that the Danes also didn’t sit around and fantasize about diversity and more brown people in their country just for shits and gigs. They would want to come back real quick.

I'm familiar with the quote - often (mis?)attributed to Churchill. It's not so much the age/political beliefs I take umbrage with - I'm sure it's true for a lot of folks - I don't care for the characterization of young people who aren't liberal as not having a conscience.
