  90. The explanation for millennials supporting communism is actually quite simple. It's the education system. It has been overrun with radical instructors. There have always been some around, but there are more than ever now. Social media hasn't helped either. It gives radical individuals a platform to influence others, and as we all know, many of the younger generation are addicted to it. I am just old enough to have missed this as a late generation Xer. It was starting to creep into our society back in the 1990s, but we were still more or less taught the evils of communism still at that time. This has really come about in the last 20 or less years. I am also just old enough that I clearly remember the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc regimes in the early 90's. They do not because they were small children or not even born yet. These people have been brought up in a world where they have continually told the system is unfair, and grew up being sheltered and given participation trophies for everything. While I agree not everything is fair in life, I still believe that hard work and persistence pays off. But what is really different in terms of viewpoint is the definition of fair. Fair is opportunity, not necessarily results. Having the opportunity to succeed is true fairness, even if it is a difficult process. To me, it is the epitome of unfair to equally compensate everyone regardless of their efforts and skills. Some people work harder than others, and some have more skills than others, and for the most part, a free market economy rewards that. Being equally compensated for simply existing in class comparison to someone with a higher skill set and better work ethic, as in communism, is unfair. The only way some will learn is to gain success and have it taken away in the name of "fairness". It needs to hit them personally.

  108.  @123mneil  Yeah I read some other comments you made on some of the other threads and could see you had a similar way of thinking to mine on the matter, so I wanted to respond to your thread. What you say about church and religion in general is about where I am. I always say "I didn't leave the church, the church left me". And yes, I agree 100% that the Bible was never meant to be taken literally or scientifically, to me I view it as more of a moral guide (in some regards), and more of a window on how ancient people saw the world. It is interesting in that regard, and you can't really argue against teachings to be kind and honest and such...if God does indeed exist you would have to think that is what he would want from us. But yeah, the ritualistic stuff turned me off, as well as the people who "went to church so they could be seen at church", which sadly I felt was most. I feel much more comfortable having my own personal beliefs, which as I said are rooted very much in Christianity but are not fundamentalist, and are not necessarily following some stringent set of rules that some text or some man says I should follow. I think just living a good and honest life is what is important, and if one does believe in God or any higher power, then their personal relationship with them is what really matters, not what some group says. I believe because I think it is rational to think the universe came from something rather than nothing, and because there is so much complexity and harmony among matter down to the molecular level that it is hard for me to accept it is all just random.
