"A 2011 Pew Research Center survey found that, among voters under the age of thirty, forty-nine per cent had a positive view of socialism. (Only forty-six per cent had a positive view of capitalism.) Peter Dreier, a professor of politics at Occidental College, who has written about Sanders, says that younger voters “may not be willing to entertain a whole new system, but they are open to a pretty profound critique of the current one. They’re not as naïve as Americans used to be during the Cold War—they know that there are varieties of capitalism, that there is social democracy in Scandinavia and Canada, where the government plays a bigger role in regulating corporations and in expanding the safety net.”

And that suits me fine!

I highly doubt they truly understand what socialism is... what it's history is... what it's ultimate goal is.

What they're taught in govt schools has little to do with the applications and outcomes.

It's clear they understand what democratic socialism is -- the kind of socialism that Bernie Sanders promotes, with my full approval. What's also clear, is that the socialism you are referring to -- where the government owns property and the means of production -- is something that Bernie and me both abhor.

Too bad you can't get off your right wing horse and view reality once in awhile.
