Communism Isn’t Cool, It’s Deadly - William Wolfe

To dispel the myth of communism as some utopian, hip, climate-friendly alternative to free-market capitalism, it’s critically important to distinguish between the idealized version of communism presented in popular culture and the harsh reality of its implementation in real life.

• Over the last few decades, there has been a resurgence of interest in — and support for — communism among America’s younger generations.
• In 2019, the Independent reported that “More than a third of millennials in the US now approve of communism, while the popularity of capitalism has plummeted since 2018, according to YouGov polling.
