What is millennial socialism?

By Danielle Wallace | Fox News

Statistics show socialism is becoming more popular among millennials voters. Here's some background:

Describing themselves as “Democratic socialists,” Sen. Bernie Sanders and freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez enjoy broad support from millennial voters, who were born between 1981 and 1996.

The generation now in their mid-20s to early-30s welcomes proposed policies that would broaden government subsidies to benefit young Americans grappling with student loan debt and rising health care prices, and who are more likely to live off their parents well into adulthood. As Sanders trails narrowly behind former Vice President Joe Biden in national polls, it’s becoming more likely that a self-described democratic socialist will receive the Democratic presidential nomination — and possibly head to the White House.

I sure don't see that in my 3 Millennials. My 2 sons voted 3rd party in the last election. My daughter didn't vote. My oldest son is more of an Anarcho-Capitalist. Must be cause I also think along those lines. Schools were unable to brainwash any of them.

Young people “think”  they want socialism. But they don’t know what it means. Find a young person and ask them if they want 70 to 80% of their income taken right off the bat before a dime goes in their own pocket and I’ll guarantee you’ll get a no answer

Mankind has been driven by the pursuit of self interest since he first stood upright. No 2020 democratic party candidate is going to change that fact
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.
