About Half of U.S .College Students Say Socialism Is Better Than Capitalism, Poll Finds
26th September 2025
A new survey released on Sept. 21 reveals that a significant number of college students view socialism more favorably than capitalism, with some even praising countries like Cuba over the United States.
The poll, conducted for Yale University’s William F. Buckley Institute, asked undergraduates whether they agreed with the statement, “While socialist countries like Cuba and the Soviet Union have not been perfect, they offer a better economic model than capitalist countries like the United States.”
Nearly half of respondents, 46 percent, supported the statement placing socialistic model of government above our capitalistic one, according exclusive early information about the poll in an exclusive by The New York Post. 39 percent disagreed, while 15 percent said they were unsure.
The problem is that there is no such thing as capitalism, which is a term invented by socialists in the mid-19th century to have a smear-term for the people they don’t like, and which has been swallowed hook, line, and sinker by people who ought to know better. All of the things that people find objectionable about ‘capitalism’ are problems with industrialism, which exist under socialism just as much as under non-socialism.
Bear in mind that, by definition, half of the population is below average in intelligence. The stupid, like the poor, we have always with us.
