AMERICANS INCREASINGLY OPEN TO THE IDEA OF SOCIALISM

As Senator and self-proclaimed Socialist Bernie Sanders runs a strong campaign for President of the United States, polls show that socialism is increasingly an acceptable idea among all Americans and among young Americans in particular.   

From The Christian Science Monitor---

In response to a Gallup poll in June, 47 percent of surveyors said they would vote for a socialist if their party nominated one, while 50 percent said they would not. Only four years ago, the Pew Research survey found that 31 percent of Americans reacted positively to the word “socialism,” while 60 percent reacted negatively. 

Also---

The 2011 Pew Research survey showed that among 18-to-29-year olds, 49 percent had a positive view of socialism, while 47 percent had a positive view of capitalism.

Here is the website of the Sanders campaign. Take a look--It's not so scary. 

As America becomes a low wage oligarchy, we can't just sit around and do nothing in reply. Our lives have value and meaning. 

Let's stay the course for hopeful change in America and let's be open to new ideas and different ways of doing things.
