Socialism: Home of the Ignorant By James Reed

     The young are turning to socialism in droves. It is a problem if they do not come out of this dementia quick.

“According to a Gallup poll conducted last year, nearly 50% of young adults have a positive view of Socialism. This contrasts with 34% of Generation Xers and less than 30% of baby boomers. Maybe older Americans know something that younger Americans simply do not know. The poll also found that while 50% of young adults view Capitalism favorably, that figure is down from 66% in 2010. What happened in the last decade to sway the youth? It appears that the combination of a stagnant economy and ignorance of basic principles are what led the youth to view socialism more favourably and capitalism less favourably. Older and wiser Americans know more about the workings of Capitalism and its overall positive outcomes in the real world.”

     That is only partially true, and assumes that the glorious system will continue to deliver the goodies of this “age of affluence” and consumerist materialism to the young, rather than displace them and put them on the garbage tip before their time. For what is not mentioned in the above extract is that the logic of capitalism, while producing masses of stuff, still is based around the maximisation of profit for a small tribe of hyper-capitalists. The logic of capitalist profit maximisation is leading to AI replacing all jobs, with the need for some sort of alternative financial support, being highly contested to say the least. So, all of these economic forces are leading to the young embracing socialism, as there seems to be no hope. There is the challenge for social credit, to once more fight the communists.
