15 Reasons Why Communism Is Appealing To A New Generation Of Teenagers

“Communism is increasingly popular among youth. A forum user asked, "Why are teens drawn to communism?” See the top replies.

WEALTH INEQUALITY

"With wealth inequality increasing and the rich growing richer as regular people suffer, radicalization escalates. Many believe the system isn't working for them."

THEORETICAL PARADISE

“Because communism is about treating everyone equally. It’s a theoretical paradise on earth, where no one suffers.”

COMMUNISM SOUNDS LIKE A SOLUTION TO CURRENT ISSUES

"Theory suggests communism can address poverty, inequality, etc. prevalent today. Early social welfare schemes by conservatives aimed to deter support for communism."

THE WORLD IS ON FIRE

“Seems like the world is on fire, and capitalism isn’t fixing it but making it worse.”

THEY WANT TO BE EDGY AND COOL

“Because they’re dumb, and they wanna be edgy and cool. They think they understand better than the people who’ve lived through the entirety of the Soviet Union.”

THE FAILURE OF CAPITALISM IS VERY CLEAR

“Because we’re growing up in a world where the failure of capitalism is very, very clear. Eight people alone own more than 4 billion.”

POLITICIANS STILL REJECT LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

"Perhaps due to right-wing politicians rejecting LGBTQ+ equality or because communism focuses on progression."

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE BECOMING FAR-RIGHT

"As Europe shifts right and the US shows capitalism's limits on social issues, remember queer folks often align with the left."

THEY ARE REBELLIOUS

"Most turn to old ideologies out of rebellion, seeking appeal in inaccurately represented history."

THEY HAVE NO IDEA

“They have no idea what life under communism is; you don’t get people supporting these ideas in places where communism once ruled over the country.”

THEY DON’T WANT TO BE OPPRESSED BY CAPITALIST

“Because the younger generation doesn’t want to be oppressed by capitalist fat cats and a government.”

PEOPLE ARE SICK OF CAPITALISM

"Worker rights erosion, climate change, cost of living, housing crisis, wealth inequality, poverty, war, etc.—reasons people are sick of capitalism. Just the tip of the iceberg."

IT HAS BEEN PROPAGANDIZED

“Because communism has been propagandized into the ground, and people are starting to understand the truth, that it’s not the genocidal ideology they were taught in school.”

INCREASE OF INTERNET USAGE

Internet usage enhancement has made global awareness more accessible. Teenagers increasingly witness capitalism's unsustainable growth amidst population increase. This awareness doesn't imply higher intelligence, but rather a more socialist mindset.

IT FAVORS THE LOWER CLASS

“Communism favors the lower class, increasing the wealth gap and causing radicalism. This cycle, repeating since Marx, is not new.”
