Millenials are so woefully lied to in their history classes, left completely financially illiterate in their curriculum, and so destitute by the weak entry level jobs market and student loan debt that communism looks very very attractive.

I'd love to ask them how many people have been killed by communist regimes just to see if they know

They're too young to remember the horrors. But this time will be different!

Because they don’t know what it is and have been taught by “professors” who have never left the classroom a single day in their entire lives and don’t know anything about the subjects they teach.

If you have some empirical evidence that disproves the basis of this thread, other than just you "calling bullshite" as though that means anything, then please by all means do share.

I think this is grossly exaggerated.

I have 300+ hours of college classes between 2 main campuses and a 3rd just to take extra classes. Not once did I ever think that I was being taught a left or liberal way of thinking. This spanned 2000-2015 so it's pretty recent.

Besides maybe a political science or possibly a history class, how am I getting left trained in my biology, math, or chemistry class?

Polls like these can be easily manipulated and for the number to be 50% is asinine. I have never meant someone who'd actually prefer a communist society to America. Although it seems like this article is grouping in socialism with communism and probably included Democratic Socialism as well. This article had an agenda to push

Partly public school system; partly university environment.
