1. "According to the latest survey from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a D.C. - based nonprofit, one of two U.S. millennial say they would rather live in a socialist or communist country than in a capitalist democracy.
What's more, 22% of them have a favorable view of Karl Marx and a surprising number see Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Un as "heroes." Really, that's what he numbers show.
View as heroes, personal, country or world:
Ronald Reagan: 60% +++ Bernie Sanders: 40% +++ George W. Bush: 39% +++ Justin Trudeau: 38%
Angel Merkel: 37% +++ Donald Trump: 31% +++ Hilary Clinton: 30% +++ Che Guevara: 26% +++
Vladimir Putin: 25% +++ Karl Marx: 18% +++ Vladimir Lenin: 17% +++ Mao Zedong: 16% +++
Joseph Stalin: 13% +++ Kim Jong Un: 13% +++ Nicolas Madura: 12%
"Millennials now make up the largest generation in America ..." said Marion Smith, executive director of the organization."Millennials are increasingly turning away from capitalism and toward socialism and even communism as a viable alternative." But do they even know what it is?
The survey which was conducted by research and data firm YouGov, found that millennials are the least knowledgable generation on the subject, with 71% failing to identify the proper definition of communism. ...
2. Ref. "OC Catholic, Orange Country Register, Nov. 5, 2017 - By Bishop Robert Barron, "The Least Religious Generation in U.S. History: Reflection on Jean Twenge's "IGEN" Selected extracts:
"iGen'ers are growing up much more slowly than their predecessors....And Twenge argues that smartphone have undeniably turned this new generation in on itself. Now there are many more insights that Dr. Twenge shares, but I was particularly interested ... in her chapter on religious attitudes and behaviors among iGen'ers. In line with many other researchers, Twenge shows that the objective statistics in this area are alarming. As recently as the 1980s 90% of high school seniors identified with religious group. Among iGen'ers, the figures are now around 65% and falling. And religious practices is even more attenuated: only 28% of twelfth graders attended services in 2015, whereas the number was 40% in 1976. ...
Whereas even twenty years ago, the overwhelming numbers of Americans, including youngsters, believed in God, now fully one third of 18 to 24-year olds, say that they don't. as late as 2004, 84% of young adults said that they regularly prayed; by 2016, fully one fourth of that same age cohort said that they never pray.
One fourth of iGen"ers say that the scriptures are a compilation of "ancient fables, legends, history, and moral precepts recorded by men." ... A second major reason for iGen dissatisfaction with religion is one that has surfaced in lots of surveys and polls, namely, that religious belief is incompatible with a scientific view of the world...
One of Twenge's interviewees put it with admirable succinctness: "I'm questioning the existence of God. I stopped going to Church because I am gay and was part of a gay-bashing religion." One survey stated the statistical truth bluntly enough: 64% of 18-24 year olds believed that Christianity is anti-gay, and for good measure, 58 % of those iGen'ers thought the Christian religion is hypocritical. Dismal stuff I know... Her book should be required reading for those who wish to evangelize the next generation."
