In an apparent rejection of the basic principles of the U.S. economy, a new poll shows that most young people do not support capitalism.
The Harvard University survey, which polled young adults between ages 18 and 29, found that 51 percent of respondents do not support capitalism. Just 42 percent said they support it.
It isn't clear that the young people in the poll would prefer some alternative system, though. Just 33 percent said they supported socialism. The survey had a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points.
"Young people could be saying that there are problems with capitalism, contradictions," Frank Newport, the editor in chief of Gallup, said when asked about the new data. "I certainly don't know what’s going through their heads."

They got snookered into $75,000 student loan debt to be indoctrinated about their white privilege.
I don't believe they have the intellectual focus or acuity to form an ideology of any sort except the Facebook/Instagram/Twitter etc. "selfie" obsession.
They sure do want to avoid that nasty $500/month loan payment - and both Hillary and Bernie are saying they shouldn't have to pay. Because, presumably, the anti-Capitalist Lefties who pollute and run the Academy overcharged them for training (aka indoctrination) that has absolutely zero market value in the real world.
Who would hire kids who come out of any of these liberal arts cesspools? They have four years of "Grievance Studies" training. You want THEM in your organization? Starting stuff left and right? Ah ... no ....
