Why are young people so obsessed with socialism?

Is it just because they want to rebel against facts? They just want to be disagreeable? They really believe a massive government state is the best thing for a utopian society?

WTF? I thought the hippies and free love crowd always hated the government in any form. Why after they throwing themselves willingly on the guillotine?

It scares the hell out of me that almost 50% of the population simply ignores facts or is happy being fed lies.

Academia tells them it’s cool and “fair”.
Media tells them it cool.
Hollywood tells them it’s cool
Sports tell them it’s cool

Sounds like it should be cool.

Because the idea of doing nothing and getting free shite is amazing to them.

Indoctrination from our educational system. Once they hit their 30/40s with a family, house, job the see the light.

I think it's a myth they even know what socialism is. Same with their dumbass professors. It's sold as giving to the poor which is something almost all people acknowledge is a good thing.

Edit: giving auto corrected to f$%@ing lol

All socialists revolutions started with misguided youth, taking advantage of their naivete is the only way to sell it

Indoctrination and seeking a purpose in life to fight for.

Couple of factors:

They don’t have any money and a lifetime of work is ahead of them. They don’t want to work.

They are young and stupid.

They are idealists that believe the world should be “fair”.

Did I mention that they are stupid?

Most are really miserable(just look at twitter) and just want to make themselves feel better and be "accepted".

It's a generation of people who have been coddled and spoiled and are entitled.

They think the government should give them everything for free because that's how they've lived their whole lives.

They don't favor actual socialism. The definition has changed. They simply support large safety net.

Because the Department of Education's intention of indoctrinating our youth worked beyond their wildest dreams.

They've produced two generations of functional retards that do not have the ability to think and reason for themselves.

Now you factor in the corrupt and controlled media telling this same bunch of functional retards the latest thing they're supposed to be outraged about and you have what we're stuck with today.


Like I said, it worked better than they could have ever dreamed.

Because it's an easy concept to understand (as opposed to actually implement in a successful manner). A society of "everyone is equal" plays much easier than a society of "work for what you get". It's not until you start looking at the details where Socialism falls apart so utterly outside of a small, highly homogeneous society.

Young people are stupid. They'd rather play video games than grab pussy.

They have no skin in the game. They have no wealth that can be taken away so they only stand to gain
