A new survey shows that U.S. adults, especially millennials, increasingly endorse Marxist views such as the rejection of private property and traditional morality, even though they don’t adopt Marxism as a label. The Cultural Research Center (CRC) at Arizona Christian University, which published the results last week, found in a representative poll of 2,000 U.S. adults that one-third or more endorsed a dozen elements of Marxist theory on issues ranging from racism to God. Pollster George Barna, CRC founder and research director, said the results indicate that 10% of Americans have internalized Marxist ideology and now draw from it in their daily decisions,
And a survey of someone I know shows he/she is more inclined to accept violence against those that would accept Marxist views.

They don't believe in private property until it involves their private property.

They've never had Marxists policies explained to them. They have however, embraced the idea that things should be given to them. In my area, too many millennials have homes because mommy and daddy have given them the money to purchase a home that they would normally not be able to buy. The idea of working and saving is completely foreign to many of them.

I think they (Obama and his mentors) are rolling this out about 20 years too early. Maybe they are just testing the waters?
In 20 years those of us who had parents in WWII or Korea, even those who served in Vietnam will be gone. What we were taught will be gone. Our education system will have had twenty more years of indoctrination. Can you imagine needing a "safe space" when you were a college age kid? These guys are not fighters by any means. We can see today the inroads that they have made in the past forty years in turning our kids against the country and we are still around to protest. If we don't put the brakes on now, and get back to what we had under Trump so that they can live their life free and know exactly what that means, how will they realize what will be gone.
Way too many people caved during Covid and surrendered their rights and liberties willingly, and it took nothing but a "scare" to do it.

Not really a surprise, it's been infused into K-12 education for at least a generation and in higher ed for over 50 years. And it is the foundation of The Narrative as promulgated by the MSM.

Polls are all part of the Communist Death Democrats propaganda weapons. Never take them as accurate. What is a Cultural Research Center by the way? Sounds marxist.

How can anyone accept a survey that combines questions on private property with those on traditional morality? If you introduce morality questions in the same survey with private property questions you condition the respondents to think of private property as a moral issue. It is not about morality but economics which is ultimately amoral. Private property provides the best system to enable economic decisions at the individual level which is more efficient, durable, and successful over time than centralized control ala command economies. People understand this when they aren't lead to an answer by a questionaire.

Barna’s polling is reliable.
So many of the “millennials” are spoiled, have had so much just flat out given to them, have often not had to face hard realities, and have some sort of entitlement mentality.
Unicorns, rainbows, and marshmallow world existence will all go away when they have to give it up when the economy tanks and people working their butts off say NO and REFUSE to have the fruits of their labors GIVEN AWAY to others who do not deserve it

This is another dump poll. So 1/4 of those surveyed might agree with some part of Marxism in some way for a period of time. Exactly what is demographics of this poll? What exactly were the questions?

Need to ask the dimwit millennials why refugees are not flocking to Cuba and Venezuela, both Marxist utopias.

They like the Marxist views until they discover their own property will belong to someone more deserving.

They may want smokescreen marxism, but trust, they do not want real marxism. What the heck is traditional morality? Marxism and God are diametrically opposed. Marxism pits people against each other. The state is god. The true God is rejected.

It seems that we will have to replicate the disasters of all the "socialist paradises" before it dawns on our deluded people what absolute evil is embodied by Marxism. It has caused misery and death wherever it has taken root.

No doubt it's a lot higher than that, considering that Marxists have run our schools and mainstream media since at least the 1960s.
