In February 2009, just after the inauguration of President Barack Obama, Newsweek declared on its cover "We Are All Socialists Now." More than a decade later, socialism has taken over the Democratic Party, and has a strong hold on young Americans.
Among Democrats of all ages, socialism is held in high esteem.
Seven in 10 said last spring socialism is "a good thing," marking a disturbing shift.
Only 57% of Democrats held the same opinion of socialism.
Cultural critic Camille Paglia has said that young Americans lean toward socialism because they are ignorant of history.
Socialism is coercion by the state, "a boot," said George Orwell, "Stamping on the human face forever." It requires the exclusion of freedom, operates by command, requires reluctant participants to yield to its plans.
Socialism "Cannot co-exist with individual rights," its solidarity "Is enforced at gunpoint," its notions of equality and fairness ensured by squads that will ultimately "Show up with truncheons."
