50% of millennials would rather live in socialist, communist countries

Keep stacking the deck against a generation, then hope they fall backwards into liking given system. Sound strategy
 
Well, maybe we should better regulate our capitalism.

I know the socialists among us imagine that's not possible. But I'm pretty sure it is.
 
I guess it is idiotic to think MILLENNIAL adults should take some responsibility for themselves rather than blaming others who did terrible things like send them to Wake and grad schools and business, support them, etc. But's it's the fault of boomersthat subsequent generations aren't handed the WORLD on a silver platter.

Our generation created amost of what yyou MILLENNIALS uses. no iPads, no PCs....no surround sound....no microwave popcorn....

first you call us hippers adn flwoer children. then you call us greedy capitalists.

NAH! You need to put the bong down.
 
To be fair, communism as a social and economic ideology is not a necessarily bad thing. Desire to remove social classes and bring about equality for all, on a purely theoretical level, is far from some boogeyman proposition. Problems with communism have arisen when it falls into Leninism-esque traps where a small sect of people take what is good about communism and distort it into an autocratic dictatorship.
 
Here's another possible approach...India man to sue parents for giving birth to him

Mumbai businessman Raphael Samuel told the BBC that it's wrong to bring children into the world because they then have to put up with lifelong suffering.

Mr Samuel, of course, understands that our consent can't be sought before we are born, but insists that "it was not our decision to be born".

So as we didn't ask to be born, we should be paid for the rest of our lives to live, he argues.

Yeah, it is. On a theoretical level it is a fantasy. In reality the body count has been most impressive and depressing. Equality under the best of circumstances would create stagnation, and the need to enforce it eventually ensures slaughter on a grand scale.

Yeah, but Communism has had a very impressive 100-year run that included a fair amount of imperialism.

"My political/economic system was really good until a some group of people took it over for their own gain and added in imperialism."
 
Ultimately, though they come from very philosophical roots, in practice communism and capitalism end up being about the same thing: a mechanism to enrich the powerful at the expense of the masses.

Is this the claptrap they teach you at Wake? What you wrote is nauseatingly ignorant.
