Do Millennials Really Reject Capitalism?
A new poll released last week by Harvard declares that Millennials don’t support capitalism. The report states that “When 18- to 29-year-old young Americans were asked whether or not they support socialism, capitalism, and other political theories and labels, a majority reject both socialism and capitalism. Socialism is supported by 33% of young Americans, while capitalism is supported by 42%.”
We’ve seen Leftists of many stripes, from centrists to Marxists, denounce the present economic troubles, the 2008 recession, and the Mossack Fonesca scandal as being the fruit of an international capitalist order. Is this truly accurate? What’s the real meaning of capitalism?
Capitalism’s critics argue that it is a system which encourages greed and environmental exploitation. Workers’ rights are degraded. Furthermore, governments under capitalism are bought and paid for by powerful corporate interests.
Comments
First of all, most millennials don’t know what either of those words mean thanks to our public indoctrination centers. Second, when the fed gov micromanages everything, the markets are not free enough to prosper. Third, we are 20 tril in debt. Do the millennials know that they will be on the hook for that debt? I doubt it.
