Hey Sup Forums I always wondered why are the younger generation into communism?
I mean it is well documented that not a single communistic government has succeeded, and they all hate Russia, one of the biggest proponents of communism back in the heyday.
At the same time the US which is irrefutable the greatest nation on the planet is a capitalistic nation, while the majority of communistic nations being vastly inferior and/or relying on the US to maintain themselves.
But yet they still seem to favor communism to capitalism, why is that?

They often appeal to emotion rather than fact.
Ryan Jones
Everyone is more or less of a shithead unti lthey grow up. Give them a few more years.
Easton Miller
They are in the "finding themselves" stage of life. The communism meme ends when they have to go out and get jobs.
Liam Barnes
muh feels
Chase Price
Most millennial "communists" haven't read anything about communist or socialist economics. They're just drawn to it because capitalism seems to have yielded to them a much lower harvest than to their parents.
Sebastian Morris
That is another thing I never understood, Communism on record has a higher number of deaths of their own citizens in comparison to Capitalism.
How do they get passed that fact?
Nathan Martinez
I had three different social studies/history teachers tell me about how communism has never been tried throughout my younger years.
I hate to put on my tinfoil hat but feelsweirdman.
Blake Cook
a lot of teachers and professors teach nonsense about how all of history and politics is a class war
you don't want to be a class traitor, do you?
Jayden Cruz
The death toll is debatable. Most of the very high estimates come from revisionist, propagandistic, or sensational "researchers" like R.J. Rummel or Robert Conquest.
Ryan Ramirez
I can't say about millennials that have not been born in a ex communist country. But for millennials that live in post communist nations, myself included, realize that life for the everyday man was actually better under a "communist" state than it is now. Sure, people didn't have 3 cars but life was generally more stable back then.
Nathan Martinez
Are you going to tell me Stalin and Pol Pot weren't true communists next?
Logan Thompson
Equality is an idealistic concept - it takes time until people realize it doesn't work
Samuel Adams
Same with Nazi Germany desu
Gabriel Young
Communism in Marx's words is classless and stateless, so technically they weren't. However, Stalin and co had authoritarian socialist economic traits, so they could count as that. Pol Pot essentially ruled over a smoking pile of rubble and tried to bring it backwards into the Middle Ages, which departs even from Stalinism.
Joshua Brooks
Not quite. In the case of the Nazis, the revisionist accounts are the ones who claim a relatively tiny death toll.
Dylan Thomas
It's in large part because of the fact that from elementary school all the way through college you have countless amounts of teachers, professors and the like bemoaning capitalism and promoting socialism/communism/Marxism/every other anti American ism.
Get 'em while they're young, like the left does with everything else (See: 5 year olds going through hormone replacement, coming out as gay, etc).

I've literally never heard a teacher praise communism. >hormone replacement Illegal for minors. Do your research rather than eating from the trash can of ideology.
Jonathan Harris
>classless
Doesn't this sound so nice, except that humans are hierarchical creatures as proven by all societies, even tribal ones.
>Marx BTFO
Henry Hernandez
Literally any anthropologist will tell you the opposite. Social classes are a relatively recent invention, and there are examples of societies (albeit small scale ones) with little to no class distinction.
Owen Morales
How recent is recent?
Because class is definitely real for post farming societies.
Dominic Adams
wow that's racist

They're young, ignorant and know only that communism has the goal of creating an equal and classless society. It has less to do with having mature political opinion than youthful optimism combined with a disenfranchisement of capitalism's empty promises. There's a reason why so many suburbanite kids turned young adult hate their own ethnicity, hate their own culture, and get wrapped up in identity politics. Capitalism has given only new leisure goods and ways to seek pleasure while turning the family unit into an economic contract.
Tyler Ramirez
they unironically believe the >but THIS TIME it will be different! THIS TIME it will work! shit that leftist leaders espouse
also >omg you ignorant redneck, it's not "COMMUNISM"! this is actually the post-analytical modernist metaindustrialist socialist movement and has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with communism!
Chase Rogers
Indoctrination and subversion. Don't worry tho, Gen Z is coming and it's literally new 1933 kids.
