URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – A new CBS News poll has confirmed what many conservatives have suspected for years: the Democratic Party has moved so far left that a majority of its own members now look favorably upon an economic system that has produced poverty, authoritarianism, and mass suffering everywhere it has ever been implemented.
According to the poll, 58% of Democrats now approve of socialism. The highest levels of support come from Democrats with college degrees, which tells you everything you need to know about what American universities have been doing with four years and tens of thousands of dollars in tuition money.
The poll did find that capitalism remains more popular with Americans overall, which is at least somewhat reassuring. But the numbers within the Democratic Party itself are alarming. Unlike the general public, Democrats view socialism more favorably than capitalism. College-educated Democrats are even more likely than their non-degree counterparts to hold a positive view of socialism, and they are also more likely to perceive a growing gap between the wealthy and the middle class, while being less likely to describe the Democratic Party itself as “effective.” That last part is at least self-aware.
Breaking it down further: younger Democrats more than older ones, and white Democrats more than other racial groups, tend to hold the most favorable views of socialism. Democrats also broadly believe socialism would improve their personal finances and that capitalism, on balance, makes them worse off financially.
That last finding is particularly telling. The United States of America, built on free-market capitalism, has produced the highest standard of living, the most technological innovation, and the greatest individual wealth creation in the history of human civilization. The countries that have embraced socialism have produced Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea.
But sure, capitalism is the problem.
These CBS numbers are deeply alarming.
Democrats overwhelmingly support socialism and overwhelmingly oppose capitalism.

The uncomfortable truth is that this is not an accident. Decades of left-wing dominance in American higher education have produced generations of graduates who have been taught to view capitalism with suspicion and socialism with romantic idealism, entirely divorced from its historical record. The Soviet Union. Mao’s China. Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. Every single implementation of socialist ideology at scale has ended in economic collapse, political repression, or both.
None of that history is being taught with any seriousness in the institutions producing these poll numbers. And the Democratic Party, now home to openly socialist politicians at the city, state, and federal level, has stopped even pretending to push back against it.
