Why millennials are drawn to socialism
|
Also they weren't brought up immersed in a cultural fear of the Soviet Union as an enemy.
Not only that, but the fall of the Soviet Union has meant that capitalism has been left unchecked by politicians. 
Please don't off yourselves millies, you need to continue to contribute to my retirement and healthcare.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
First generation to see late stage capitalism, ofc the problems will be more apparent now than they were in the past.

I'm a millennial and obviously just speaking for myself. I wouldn't describe myself as being 'drawn to socialism,' I just am willing to admit and identify criticisms and problems with our current quasi-capitalist systems. I absolutely would not call myself a socialist, and I doubt I ever would (though who knows, in the future). I think there are plenty of younger people who aren't socialist, but acknowledge the need for greater oversight in certain areas.

Actually the parent's politics are known to be the greatest influence on the political views of young people. I started off right wing (UK standards, not US) and as I matured and learned more about how the world works I became progressively more socialist.
Socialisms been a dirty word for so long most people don;t realize how much of a socialist they are.
