So many of today’s college kids seem to truly want socialism and “all it’s glory” and a big part of the “why” is that their impression of capitalism and socialism is very skewed thanks to educators.
Those of us who grew up in the 1980s had the very notion of socialism as a tyrannical ideology based out of the Society Union, and understood, taught, how capitalism allows for growth and freedom. And those from my own generation, under the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, were somewhat taught that this crisis was the fault of capitalism.
It’s no surprise, then, that “getting a job” seems to be a wakeup call for today’s college grades. Once they have a real-working-world view of how society exists and functions, they suddenly start to warp up to capitalism.
