    There are many different types of socialism, and not all of them are the same. Some forms of socialism are more authoritarian, while others are more democratic. Some forms of socialism focus on nationalizing the means of production, while others focus on providing social welfare programs.

    This is straight up propaganda. Socialism is not authoritarian, but democratic. Socialism is not when the government gives welfare programs 🤦🏾‍♂️.

    This now makes me wonder if the people interviewed knew what socialism is.

      Yeah, that’s always the problem with these kinds of polls. Most people can’t really articulate what socialism is in the first place. However, I’d argue the key finding is that young people are rejecting capitalism as a system, and this means that they are open to new ideas. It’s ultimately the job of communists to help others develop proper grounding in political theory.
