The Zombie Monster of Socialism Arises Again, and Again By James Reed

     It feels like we have to fight the same old battles over and over again. I am referring to the rise of socialism, but in reality, socialism was never defeated, it simply mutated in form, becoming cultural Marxism. Now most young Americans prefer socialism to capitalism:

“A new report from Gallup revealed that young people prefer socialism to capitalism. The Gallup report, which was published on August 13, details American attitudes on socialism and capitalism. The results specifically identified that positive attitude towards socialism amongst millennials. The majority of Americans, aged 18 to 29, now prefer socialism to capitalism. Americans aged 18 to 29 are as positive about socialism (51%) as they are about capitalism (45%). This represents a 12-point decline in young adults’ positive views of capitalism in just the past two years and a marked shift since 2010, when 68% viewed it positively. Meanwhile, young people’s views of socialism have fluctuated somewhat from year to year, but the 51% with a positive view today is the same as in 2010. A report from CNBC on the Gallup poll argued that many young Americans are struggling to get by in the current economy. For example, wages haven’t risen to match the rise in the cost-of-living. As a result, many young Americans are blaming the system for their struggles.

Despite today’s strong economy, many young Americans are struggling to make ends meet. That’s because wages are not keeping up as day-to-day costs continue to soar, author and executive director of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project Alissa Quart tells CNBC Make It: “Stop blaming yourself and start blaming the system, or start blaming the deeper causes of your economic fragility and instability. There are forces that are constructed against you, everything from your taxes to whether you can have job security.” The Gallup poll revealed that older Americans have a much more negative view on socialism. This may be a consequence of the failures of socialist systems around the globe in the 20th century. Younger people, still, often point to the Scandinavian countries for their success with the Nordic model of socialism, which involves a welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level on top of free market capitalism.”

     My take on this is that the present neo-liberalism system has indeed failed young people, because it has eroded the moral capital of the future, destroyed environments, and in the name of globalism, exported jobs. Yet socialism, as seen in places like Venezuela, has not done better, but indeed, much, much  worse, reducing society to zombie apocalypse levels. Clearly, this is the time to be putting to youth, who will be coming increasingly receptive, the social credit message. The time, like in the 1930s is ripe once more.
