| It is not that young people are attracted to extremism, I believe, but that as people grow up they lose the will power to try and change the world for the better, preferring to 'better' themselves alone.
And todays youth are not brainwashed by communists. You should see the arguments I had everytime I had when I said I was a communist. its like a damned trained reaction. You look at the TV, is there any left wing news channels? Are there any major left wing newspapers? No, to both. In Britain we have ONE left leaning newspaper, the Guardian, and even that is centrist really. And as for the TV its all right wing. You have to wait till midnight usually before you get any left wing films or documentaries.
And Corporations are 'evil', though I wouldn't use that term. They are not inherently bad, its just the purpose of them is to extricate more profit for its shareholders, which means either cutting jobs, screwing pension plans over, making workers work longer hours, cutting pay etc. All stuff that hurts the worker without benefiting him at all.
There has been a confusion of terms when people say they hate America, just as when people say they hate communism. People hated the governments of the USSR, China, Cambodia etc, without knowing the systems themselves. And when people say they hate America, they hate the governments of America, rather than 'America' itself.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
