Why does the younger generation of voters love communism so much?

Pulling BS out of thin air are you.

[fitche]

Liberal government school propaganda.

[talbot]

you're getting government investment in our nation mixed up with communism. put the Fox News down and try to research the people you call cumminist and what it actually means to be a communist. you might learn something.

[taillefer]

Taxing the rich isn't the same thing as communism.

The top tax rate in the 1950's was over 60%, America wasn't communist then.

Because the "Private Property" and "Individual Rights" you're talking about don't refer to people, it refers to allowing corporate conglomerates do as they please. Why do I want regulation? Because anarchy is not an attractive alternative and right know that's how our economy works, its a free for all. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm a communist but ground rules need to be set or how our economy is run. Remember that example of how Free Speech has limits, like not yelling Fire! in a crowded theater? Well that's what I want to see in our economy

I don't have a problem with young liberals. The majority of us were liberal back then. It's these pony tailed, lazy, dirty hippies in their 50's-60's whose brain never grew in I question.

There was one yesterday on the local news at an Occupy Wells-Fargo demonstration. He actually said he promised his wife he would not get arrested because they are trying to get a home loan!!!!!!!!! Talk about a hypocrite.

A lot of books have been written since communism was minimized in 1989 and especially since the 60's that claim the stories coming out of the USSR in the 20th century were exaggerations by the citizens who actually lived through it also claiming they didn't understand what the intent was. No doubt these books were written by left leaning intellectuals who didn't experience it. Word of mouth accounts of the starvation, the loss of freedom, the poverty are discounted even though mass graves proved otherwise.

You know that results to the left are not the issue. The issue is their intent regardless of the consequences of their ideology. Those who wanted to save their property, their businesses, their way of life were seen as greedy and political enemies for their failure to adhere to the collective ideology so were reeducated in prisons and/or killed. Those who were unable to work were given less food. So much less that they starved. They attract people with "the enemy of being is having". Much of the argument claims that people are slaves to their belongings. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. Materialism is the enemy of the state. I don't understand how working and realizing nothing from that labor except the barest necessities appeals to anyone. One would have to be a robot, no thinking skills permitted.

I think young people think they can sit on their butts and do nothing and be provided with free cell phones and a cozy house with plenty to eat. They don't get it. This administration is sucking them in on a false premise.

[herald]

They don't. If you look into what the OWS protesters are really about, NOT what the corporate media tells you they are about, then you will see they are actually protesting to protect YOU. It is the destruction of the middle class they are trying to stop. Taxing the rich is not communist. Unequal taxation is anti-american. There is no trickle down. The rich are only creating jobs offshore. The younger generation is trying to save America.

Well
The words used to define above are the metaphors of CHANGES.

The best place to have change is at a University, FREE THOUGHT from parental influences.
