According to a shocking Fox News poll that just came out, the percentage of Americans that want the government to leave them alone is going up, and the percentage of Americans that want the government to lend them a hand is going down…
The 34 percent saying “lend me a hand” is down from 41 percent last year and 39 percent in 2016. The 55 percentwho would tell the government “leave me alone” is up from 51 percent in 2018 and 54 percent in 2016. ....
The survey also found that the percentage of Americans that have a positive view of capitalism is more than twice as high as the percentage of Americans that have a positive view of socialism…
Fifty-seven percent of voters have a positive opinion of capitalism. That’s more than twice the number who feel the same about socialism (25 percent). Some of the groups most likely to have a favorable view of socialism include self-identified liberals (50 percent), Clinton voters (43 percent), and those under age 30 (36 percent).

The survey found young people being more receptive to socialism, but I think it's always been true that facile answers appeal to the young. I actually think the millennials will grow to be more distrustful of gov't b/c they grew up in a world that never had central authorities as gatekeepers. Everyone has always had a printing press for them. The encyclopedia has always been pubicly editable. I hope this will make them more skeptical of central planning in general.
Don't forget: the elite is just as well off in EVERY communist regime (Russia, China, even Venezuela) as the elite here. That's why they support the left which will let them get away with it.
