So why does it matter? (shocking new polls about what millennials believe)
According to a Washington Times article titled "U.S. Adults Increasingly Accept Marxist Views, Poll Shows. Millennials Are Especially Likely to Espouse Marxist Views on Private Property, Race." published October 2, 2021:
A 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 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, including those on racism and God.
Pollster George Barna, the center’s 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, even though only 1% of Americans adopt Marxism as their primary worldview.
The article also states that
Mr. Barna, who founded the Christian evangelical polling firm The Barna Group in 1984, said U.S. adults pick up Marxist views without realizing it.
“They may not like being thought of Marxist, but they don’t know what Marxist principles are, by and large, and so they are unwittingly embracing those principles,” he said.
The results of the poll reflect those of other surveys. An October 2020 YouGov poll found that 26% of Americans supported “the gradual elimination of the capitalist system in favor of a more socialist system.”
On economics, 27% of respondents to the Cultural Research Center’s survey agreed that allowing people to own property facilitates economic injustice, and 23% agreed with the statement that individual property ownership is bad for society.
Regarding critical race theory, which posits that racism is a foundational element of American society, 41% agreed with the statement: “Race is used by white people to advance their economic and political interests at the expense of people of color.”
Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, said the Marxist founders of the Black Lives Matter movement have appropriated this tenet of critical race theory in a bid to overturn society.
“[Alicia] Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, Black Lives Matter’s three main founders, have always been candid about their Marxism, which is a synonym for communism,” Mr. Gonzalez wrote in a Sept. 8 commentary on the Heritage website.
“This is a significant political shift, never before seen in the American setting. We’ve seen little eruptions of socialism in the 20th century, but I think this is a tipping point,” said Ms. Munsil, an Arizona Christian University political science professor.
Why is this happening? This former public school teacher has some ideas:
David Barton, a former high school principal who founded the Texas-based educational nonprofit WallBuilders, said American classrooms haven’t taught a working definition of socialism and Marxism in 30 years.
“This would not have been a conversation 30 years ago. It’s a conversation now because we’ve done such a poor job of teaching about different forms of government and the consequences of what they produce,” Mr. Barton said. “We don’t know much about any government, including our own constitutional republic.”
The article further explains that
The survey shows that declining beliefs in Christian viewpoints and morality correlate strongly with acceptance of Marxist beliefs, especially among young people.
Millennials were most likely to agree that God either does not exist or cannot be known, that there are no moral absolutes beyond what individuals determine for themselves, that having an abortion or sex outside of marriage is ethically permissible, and that suicide and euthanasia are “morally acceptable choices,” regardless of motivation.
Millennials also were likeliest to identify as LGBTQ.
Jeff Myers, the president of Summit Ministries, said the poll confirms “that Marxists want to erode support for any institution they see as supporting the ownership of private property: traditional marriage, economic freedom, republican government and religion.”
“Millennials seem to go along with it. This doesn’t make them Marxist revolutionaries, but it does position them to be manipulated by people who are,” Mr. Myers said.
Analysts said the poll’s results track with national surveys over the past decade that increasingly show U.S. adults expressing a preference for socialism over capitalism as religious affiliation gradually declines.

THIS IS WHY IT MATTERS!
The Marxists have been indoctrinating our schools and universities for a very long time. Please see my previous posts about school indoctrination as early the 1990's and the information found in school library books and textbooks to understand why millennials are more likely to identify as LGBTQ, have declining beliefs in Christian viewpoints, and believe that race is used by white people to improve their own situation. The Marxists have been using public schools and public libraries to indoctrinate children since the 90's, and these children are now millennials. A lot of these millennials now have viewpoints that contradict traditional American and Christian values. This is why parents need to get informed and be involved in what is being taught and not taught. They may call themselves Democratic Socialists or Progressives, but every communist knows what Vladimir Lenin meant when he said, "The goal of socialism is communism." Socialism is an economic system. Marxism (Marx was, of course, a communist) is a cultural and societal construct. Socialism and communism make good partners for obvious reasons and are often seen together in failed countries and economies around the world. The goal of the extreme left is to indoctrinate our children with MARXIST cultural views so that, as adults, they will accept communism and socialism both.
I strongly recommend that anyone who wants more information about this topic of Marxist indoctrination in our schools and universities should read American Marxism written by Mark Levin and published in 2021. It contains very up-to-date-information and is an extremely valuable resource for those who want to take action and get involved. IT IS TIME!
