Lots of stuff here, but what really jumped out to me was 1/3rd of American adults under 30 have a favorable view of communism.
I see a lot of people talk about messaging, vocabulary, etc and how changes in these areas are all that’s needed to win over normies. In reality it is material conditions that drive one’s openness to radical revolutionary ideas, and as things deteriorate more people begin seeking answers outside the confines of mainstream politics.
While this statistic is encouraging, the rest of the survey should moderate your enthusiasm. The average American is very uneducated when it comes to the political economy, and this survey shows this to a degree. People can understand individual policy items, but fail to see the wider picture and how various policy items interact with each other. The glaring example is the stances on tax policy and wealth accumulation. As the author of the article states “opinions change as they hear arguments for an against”. All this to say that mere sympathy for our movement is not enough, and the advanced layers of the working class must educate the rest of the working class.
The movement is still a glimmer in the eyes of Karl Marx’s ghost. There are encouraging changes and we must seize the opportunity, but there is still much work to be done.
