Half of millennials would rather live under socialism and communism

[Benton]

Quote:A survey from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation

I'ma just guess they aren't the most impartial group. But could be wrong there.

If true (and I would be surprised as I don't think most millennials are that familiar with communism), it wouldn't be shocking. We're a democracy, we sell bumper stickers about how free we are and how great that freedom is. Then we turn around and use the profits from those bumper sticker sales to manipulate healthcare costs to benefit shareholders. We tell people we don't like or don't trust that they're free... as long as they start living exactly the same as we do, and we say our freedom is being trampled on when others point out the hypocrisy and lack of civil decency. We take people's money with the pretense of doing common good (bridges, police, parks, education, etc), and then funnel it into special interests and perks for a few.

We're a democracy, but freedom is something disappearing at a disturbing rate.
