Socialism is going mainstream and millennials are the cause

Marion Smith, executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, said the report shows millennials are "Increasingly turning away from capitalism and toward socialism and even communism as a viable alternative."

"This troubling turn highlights widespread historical illiteracy in American society regarding socialism 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," Mr. Smith said in a statement.

Millennials are more likely to prefer socialism and communism than the rest of the country.

"The most alarming result, according to [George] Barna, was that four out of every ten adults say they prefer socialism to capitalism," the ACFI noted in its commentary on the poll.

Communism was on its last leg, it appeared, and its little brother socialism was not far behind.

Little did we know that the fires of socialism were being stoked in corners all across America where it is held in higher regard than in nations that have suffered under it.

The ideologies of professors and educators have proven stronger than facts: The "Benefits" of socialism and Communism are taught from the Ivy League to the local community college.
