DR. DUKE PESTA: AMERICANS UNDER THIRTY 
PREFER SOCIALISM
 New data is now showing a big shift in American attitudes toward socialism. A survey of U.S. adults conducted by the American Culture and Faith institute suggests that 40 percent of Americans prefer socialism to capitalism and free markets. A Gallup poll (2016) also found that 55 percent of Americans younger than age 30 hold favorable views of socialism. It makes perfect sense that younger generations—who have not experienced full throttle socialism first hand, and who have yet to have a house or own a business—are taken in by the utopian fantasies of government school teachers and leftist academics.
