Why are millennials so quick to accept socialism?

Why are millennials so quick to accept socialism?
Is it due to the failing job market or are they just lazy and want gibs.

people still in school are highly sheltered and prime targets for being manipulated by idealist ideologies that lie and pander and shame

nothing wrong with true socialism, jude.

Why do rural and suburban retards always say "socialism" like it's one thing?

Why do rural and suburban retards consider budget for roads and police, "socialism"?

Professor Goldstein told them how great it was and they can't think for themselves

They are lazy and know that they don't have the skills to make enough money to buy the new iPhone. But they are OK with voting for the government to steal from workers and give it to them.

>lazy and want gibs
that's always the root
they hide it under false compassioin for the poor, but really they're lazy fucks
basic services like those aren't socialism, that's just shit you do if you want a basic society

No, it definitely is socialism. Unfortunately Fox News has brainwashed you into thinking socialism=Stalinist USSR

>fox news
I don't even have a cable subscription
not a argument

socialism is the government controlling everything in a country instead of just doing the basics and letting the market sort the rest out

Decaying infrastructure and rampant neoliberalism are a drag.

They have a poor knowledge of history.

Bernouts aren't people

Both, and also being far removed from the cold war with no indoctrinated fear of leftism like the boomers had.

I would like to think that being lazy and wanting gibs are not a motivation, but I learned a thing or to caucusing for Bernie Sanders. I had a cautiously optimistic approach to the ideology while other attendees spoke of "free" healthcare, education, etc. As if nobody is actually paying for it one way or another. It was pretty fucking stupid and I'm leaning libertarian these days.

Because they have nothing.

It's really, really hard to penetrate the conditioning that egalitarianism = socialism. It's a direct inversion from the truth meant to be an ironclad assurance that society will never move in any truly egalitarian direction.

I don't give a shit about gilded bathrooms for the homeless when the goddamn roads and bridges are falling apart
I would have hoped you would have told me what socialism actually is to you

'Cuz Capitalism ain't working.

Basically this. The yuppies that make up a large number of teachers show them in school, where feminism and critical theory are used to tear down everything white Christians have built.
Combine this with "muh feelsl that many young peope have, and there you go.

Jump off a skyscraper

I would have hoped you'd have read a book.

For supporting Sanders or for changing my mind about it?

To add to this, part of the horror as an egalitarian who saw through it is that I've managed to show other people through it... and they converted to socialism! Because the only people who ever really understand it seem to be people who don't even fucking want equality.

Nobody fucking knows about critical theory except academically inclined kids. They only teach analytical a la Aristotle and early Wittgenstein in colleges now. Mainstream Feminism is basically just "all men are evil; we want to be capitalists too."-- Far removed from actual Feminist theory like Judith Butler.

kultymarks is the worst meme

>gilded bathrooms for the homeless
Ordinary bathrooms will do, IMO.

>when the goddamn roads and bridges are falling apart
But many on the right call this "socialism" as well.

>I would have hoped you would have told me what socialism actually is to you
The government having a large control over the economy.

Both

They don't understand the value of hard work because they've never worked hard.

They don't know what they want yet

Lazy,
Retarded,

How convenient for you, goy.

What a coincidence, because the majority of Sup Forums is still in school

Socialism is all about the workers, you idiot. This comrade explains it pretty decent:
youtube.com/watch?v=7RSvFJqEdWk

More gibs, pretty much. They see the fruits of other people's hard labour and want them, but are unwilling to do the damn work and/or expect the results of a 20-year career to be handed to them in their first job, which of course, should just be an easy ride with no real work involved.

There's a cardinal rule which helps explain this phenomenon. People do not hate the rich. They simply hate people richer than them.

It's no coincidence that the ones who despise these kind of people the most are those born into the working class (as opposed to the children of doctors and architects who pretend they're poor because daddy doesn't buy them a new iPhone every other week) who made their wealth through their own hard work.

t. surrounded by middle-class 20-somethings who live off the taxpayer and daddy's money and pretend to be poor and demand that working people pay for their lifestyle choices

Its the carrot dangled in front of the working class that tempts them to have more power, but it is a lie. The modern millennial socialists aren't driven by being a working class, they are driven by emotion and a LACK of understanding value of hard work in a free market.

Because our schools teach with distorted histories

Why is Blacksmith Fox using red-hot tools to smith a cold pipe?

Exactly this. I'm a millennial, so I see it the most. Their idealism will lead them to their destruction, all while they still smile and say "just have some love and compassion bro!"

They only know enough to know that economic conditions are shit because no matter how politically ignorant you are, we're all feeling the crush. Beyond that, all it takes is marketing and good sounding speeches to rally them. The more "TV-like" a candidate seems, the more it appeals to them.

See: Obama

Because they witnessed their parents getting screwed over hard by the current US implementation of 'capitalism'

>The modern millennial socialists aren't driven by being a working class, they are driven by emotion and a LACK of understanding value of hard work in a free market.

That's intentional, though. The same goys pushing anti Trump 24/7 on CNN are the same one funding them and giving them air time on CNN inbetween jabs at Trump. They are designed to take the actual working class element out of it.

i bet they're soccer fans. fuck soccer.

Speaking from my own experiences, we were taught to deconstruct decisions made by Europeans and Americans from the viewpoint of muh oppressed groups. We were given facts to show how evil white men are, while never being told about their accomplishments. Sounds like some of the ideas of critical theory to me.

Because the allies won the war and the atrocities of Stalin and Mao were washed away with
>muh holocaust
>muh 6 gorillian

socialists don't know have any basic because they keep killing everyone who does

honestly this picture gets funnier the longer you look at it because it's obvious none of these socialist workers have no idea what they're doing

I went to university, I talked to these kids, they think it's completely reasonable to expect making $55,000 a year as a manager in a starting position. They don't understand that they're one of a hundred million with a bachelor's degree and they have to start at the bottom and work hard like everybody else, because their whole lives were spent in a school system that placed them at the top for being able to spit out the propaganda in the right order. Now they can spit out propaganda just fine, oh they just love to, but they have to real skills, no work ethic, and no motivation. It's almost sad because a lot of liberals were bright kids that got caught up in their own arrogance.

WHY ARE THOSE STUPID KIDS VOTING FOR SOCIALISM?!

I can agree with that, not that their views of socialism are necessarily wrong though. The US, through its awful public education, stagnation of wages, and bewildering costs of higher education, have essentially barred the lower laboring class from actually learning about their condition, or what causes it. The media has fed them the lie that the system itself is fine, perfect even, but it's these small and basically irrelevant groups that are fucking it all up. That plus the McCarthyist rhetoric that dominates US views on anything even half-leftist, have cucked the majority of the working class who would best benefit from socialism. So now the only people who actually know or care about socialism tend to be middle-class kids. It sucks.

This wasn't the case in the '10s-'40s, where the US actually had a strong Socialist party, strong labor unions, and still tons of communes around the country; this basically all fell apart after Debs got shot and the red scares started kicking in after the USSR dropped the ball.

Comrade, vodka.

>live in the historic heartland of the american labor & socialist movements

>be le millennial meme
>hate commies/socialists with reckless abandon

Anyone who has had to work a serious, to makes ends meet, job hates socialists and their supporters. Unless you are congenitally retarded, but there's no helping some people.

In the most boiled down way possible, sure. But there isn't anything even wrong about those. "Yeah, colonization worked out great for the colonizers, but what about the colonized?" Is a question well worth asking. It just makes sense.

Schools get it wrong because they assume that the imperialists knew what they were doing was wrong. Critical Theory is all about exposing contradictions and short-comings in ideology when compared to material conditions; schools don't really do that.

Yeah it fucking blows. Redneck Revolt and others are sort of promising, but even the DSA (which, at the end of the day, I support) usually just turn out to be social democrats.

What does it know that we don't know ?

Well, I'm more-or-less a social democrat myself, so that's not the worst thing in the world IMO.

>Redneck Revolt
Was unaware of this. Interesting.

But don't you know that McCarthy was right and that Debs was secretly going to turn into Stalin and kill 100,000,000 people in the name of free healthcare? Stefan Molyneux and the Mises Institute said so!

what if we just had "socialism"... but we expelled blacks and hispanics first? that system would be fucking good imo

I think Succdem is the only way to go atm in the US. It's way too reformist and easily hijacked though. Never forget Rosa Luxemburg, comrade.

Anyway yeah, Redneck Revolt are pretty cool. I hope some analog occurs for alienated miners/rust-belt workers.

Because they always only view themselves on the taking end of socialism, never on the paying end.

Dude, what? Kill yourself. Seriously. Quit acting as if you're for working class individuals when in reality you're only pretending to be for minorities to show your stupid liberal faggot friends how "not racist" you are.

In reality, you wouldn't sleep or eat a day without getting shot at in the USSR for being such a fucking faggot.

1. Infect the capitalist system with socialism
2. Socialism starts to fuck things up
3. Blame capitalism, instead of the socialism parasite

>Education in Croatia is a right defend by the Article 66 of the Constitution which states that everyone has to have access to free compulsory education under equal conditions and in accordance with their aptitudes.

Generation of children that have had everything handed to them. Now we're older and society asks us to do something.

It's a bad combo.

The product of decades of Marxist indoctrination throughout all walks of society.
Americans think they defeated Communism when it has been taking over their country and the rest of the West right under their noses.

>Is it due to the failing job market or are they just lazy and want gibs.

they're just lazy and want to be handed everything. they don't believe in waiting and saving for something.

the generations before all worked starting in their teens. these kids are handed everything from when they're little. it's all the know, to be handed something.

when they get to be adults and are expected to get things on their own, it outrages them.

Really makes you think

Hey, you. "Rural and Suburban retards" fag.

I'm calling you out. Why do you think that urban and ghetto retards are better than rural and suburban ones? Why? Why do you believe that people who live in traffic choked, crack market neighborhoods with starbucks on every corner are better people? Why? Why?

Socialism is the government using taxpayer money to control the means of production on something. Such as roads. AFAIK public roads, highways, interstates are government maintained.

You can have some aspects of socialism without going full Stalin.

If this roads scenario isn't socialism, then what term would you use to define it? (hint: it's not capitalism)

bernie basically ran the pedro campaign:

Vote for me, and all your wildest dreams will come true.

I'm a socialist because the system is corrupt, unsustainable, abusive, and consistently fails to address any of the major issues facing our society and world at large. I'm a socialist because everyone deserves to get the chances I've gotten.

>Claims to represent the working class even if the working class isn't on your side since they voted for trump.
See I also totally get why lower classes voted for trump, it's actually encouraging in a way. These are people who, rightly, feel totally rejected and alienated from the system at large and are desperate for a change. Trump made himself appear as a change, of course he's literally no different from any regular Dem/Rep candidate save for his style and incompetence.

>blah blah blah
U mad bro?

no dads to teach them to be independent.

universal healthcare and education is something 99.99999999999999% places in the world have
with one single FUCKING autismo exception

even with that you get only the basics and have to pay for medicine you want, transport, accomodation and books for yourself, which is something you "socialists" (petty thieves) would probably mooch off too in some way and cry about your 1st world issues every day like youre some kind of a coal mine worker in bolivia instead of top 1% most comfy and most quality life in the entire fucking history

Because they don't see the system working for them or that it would work for them in the future.

And this disparity will adjust one way or the other in the future.

Showdown's a brewin'!

Lazy. Damn near very leftie I know does nothing but leech off the people around them and the gubbment. The others work FOR the gubbment amusingly enough.

They won't work. Always have an excuse.
>I'm depressed ;_;
>People suck
>Why work when people gib me monies?

Not even just millenials. They're late 30's and above.

>Why are millennials so quick to accept socialism?
They were brainwashed in state-funded public-schools.

marijuana has made a complacent generation, thats wants to just collect gibs and blaze their lives away.

socialism encompasses the economy. roads fall under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution, one of only three mandated expenditures mandated by the constitution. defense is another one that the leftists constantly whine about.

but surprisingly, healthcare isn't one, so trannies btfo.

its a dumb meme and a bait you fell into like a t_d reditor you are

everyone knows that country people and lifestyle are objectively better in every measurable way

Student loans.

>universal healthcare and education is something 99.99999999999999% places in the world have with one single FUCKING autismo exception
That's what I'd like to change, though.

>even with that you get only the basics and have to pay for medicine you want, transport, accomodation and books for yourself
That's a step up from the situation here.

>like youre some kind of a coal mine worker in bolivia instead of top 1% most comfy and most quality life in the entire fucking history
Without some sort of drastic reform, I could easily see the U.S. going the LatAm shit-show route in a few generations.

>no dads to teach them to be independent.

holy shit, a based canadian.

too many kids raised by single mothers. even in families with men, too many of them have the women in charge.

it is a form of check and balance against the super wealthy skewing society and government in their favor while putting the rest of us in jail for some minor offense they cook up.

unregulated capitalism eventually leads to feudalism. socialism, as it is used in America, is just another word for regulated capitalism.

The super wealthy need a check and balance against acquiring too much power. right now it is almost too late, as they almost completely own government and media.

the problem was there before any of them took out student loans. so many of them are socialist without student loans also.

the latter

>Without some sort of drastic reform, I could easily see the U.S. going the LatAm shit-show route in a few generations.
yes, but thats because of immigration - spics and niggers people like you endorse
i dont even support nationalism or borders, but you dont need to be a right winger to notice how foreigner immigration is going to destroy your society

im not for universal healthcare and middle class being ripped off to provide for illegal drug dealers, rapists and beggars who didnt work a minute in their life

im telling you how retarded you are to say anything about universal provision in the context you did

We've all gotta work together bro! Stay positive! Communism can work!

>ITT: boomers and self-hating millenials

>unregulated capitalism eventually leads to feudalism. socialism, as it is used in America, is just another word for regulated capitalism.
This. We used to have the word "progressivism" for it, but now I associate that with liberals who think gay-colored Oreos are a major victory and whose economic views amount to "uh, idk lol just do communism or something :P"

>yes, but thats because of immigration - spics and niggers people like you endorse
I think it's more because of growing economic disparity and a decline in infrastructure. I also don't endorse illegal immigration (i.e. businesses tacitly encouraging swathes of exploitable labor to come over) and black people aren't immigrants, they've been here in large numbers since the Colonial era.

>i dont even support nationalism or borders, but you dont need to be a right winger to notice how foreigner immigration is going to destroy your society
I really think it's an overstated issue, at least relative to other problems here in the U.S.

>im not for universal healthcare and middle class being ripped off to provide for illegal drug dealers, rapists and beggars who didnt work a minute in their life
I think this too is an overstated problem, and is basically propaganda to make poorer and/or conservative people vote against their economic interests.

They were born after the Soviet Union

>Why are millennials so quick to accept socialism?
Parents who gave them anything they wanted. Of course a state that gives them everything they want is enticing.

Yeah, the gibs, but it actually goes deeper, socialism/communism is attractive to mediocre people because these ideologies demand nothing from you, I exist therefore I must be taken care of, the reason these people hate fascism so much is because fascism is hard, it demands for you to be in excellent physical form, it demands clean non degenerate dressing, it demands sacrifice and effort for your people and nation, they despise it because deep down they know they're pieces of shit with no value at all.
