2025 Gallup Poll shows 66% of Democrats have a positive view of SOCIALISM

Mamdani is semi socialist. There are zero socialist countries. What you stupidly identify as socialist are countries that share the wealth with the people who create it. They have universal healthcare, union protection, safety nets, and free or close to free education. The Gini quotient shows those societies are far above us in happiness of the people. They are all capitalistic.
You are so wrong and so ignorant.

Countries identifying as Socialist or governed by a communist party:

* China
* Cuba
* Vietnam
* North Korea


Countries with Socialist-Oriented governments or parties:

* Bolivia
* Nepal
* Venezuela
* Rojava (Northern Syria)



God forbid you leftist loons ever get total control of our government and presidency, since if you do
America will quickly join that list of countries with Socialist-Oriented governments with the Dem Party.
 
China is communistic, not socialist. NK is a dictatorship. Cuba is communist since 1961. They would be far better off and freer if we had traded with them. Vietnam is governed by the Communist Party of Vietnam.Again, we laugh at you.

And many people are fleeing those socialist countries to try and become legitimate American citizens, not illegitimate
criminals like we got during biden's horrific open border presidency.

You have no idea what you are typing about. The countries which you sloppily label as socialist have higher standards of living than we do. There are 4 million Americans living in Nordic countries. They are not fleeing. The dictatorships do not have many people leave. They close the borders up tight and threaten death to prevent it. Your confusion about other nations requires some reading. You do not know how far off you are.
As an example, Russia being communist. The distribution of wealth in Communist countries would not have Putin reported as the richest person on the planet. It evolved into something quite different than communism. It is a dictatorship like Trump is pushing.
Many fled Russia when he started the Ukraine war. They were all over European countries. Putin stopped that.

The same poll found that Democrats now view socialism more favorably than Capitalism, 66% to 42%.

Today, a whopping 66% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism. That's a direct result of young
people not learning about the atrocities that socialist governments committed in the 20th century.

So at least 66% of today's leftists/Democrats/liberal forum members have a positive view of socialism,
which perfectly aligns with the ideology of the Dem's #1 Socialist/Communist Mamdani.

So I ask you leftist socialists to name one country where socialism has worked?

You fascists hate democracy. Ever since Hitler and Mussolini.

Are you suggesting that Nordic countries are socialist, for I don't? How is Trump pushing a dictatorship?

Sure it's worked, as in Social Security, Medicare, unemployment compensation, minimum wage laws, worker safety laws, a host of other laws and regulations that long ago broke the backs of the Robber Barons.

If you identified the poll so we could review the questions and answers, that would help.

It was an actual Gallup poll and it did show the figures as he said. But the question was vague - “do you view socialism positively or negatively?” 66% of Dems did. I suspect why is that Dems have a better idea of what socialism is than Republicans. We see that on this forum repeatedly.

The overall results were:

“Americans are more positive toward capitalism than socialism, but the 54% viewing capitalism favorably is down from 60% in 2021 and near that level in most prior years. Americans remain more negative (57%) than positive (39%) toward socialism, with little movement in these attitudes over time.”

Religion and politics have been perverted by President Trump. No wonder the nation is skeptical of unbridled capitalism
 
The poll is talking to people who think socialism is like Scandinavian countries, which are capitalist. In fact, they think they are voting for universal medical care , a fairer tax system, and free university education. So take down the Socialism a few notches.

Nordic countries are usually pinned with the Socialism label. They are not . They just have a more even distribution of wealth than we do. We have the worst wealth gap America has ever had. Money =power. You know where the power is in America. Trump filled admin positions and agencies with millionaires and billionaires.

Explain how the Nordic countries have a more even distribution of wealth than we do.
 
Nordberg, study the sources below. It is good to learn.

Yes, wealth is more evenly distributed in Scandinavian countries than in the United States, and the numbers back it up.

The Gini coefficient measures income or wealth inequality on a scale from 0 (perfect equality) to 100 (maximum inequality). Lower values indicate more equal distribution.


CountryGini Coefficient (2022–2023)
Denmark29.3
Sweden31.6
Norway~27–28 (latest estimates)
United States41.8

Sources:

💰 Wealth Concentration at the Top​

  • In the U.S., the top 10% of households hold over 70% of total wealth, and the top 1% alone control about 32%.
  • In the euro area (which includes Sweden and Denmark), the top 10% hold 57.4% of net wealth, and the bottom 50% own just 5%, which is still more balanced than the U.S..

🧮 Mean vs. Median Wealth​

  • The U.S. shows a large gap between average (mean) and median wealth, indicating extreme concentration at the top.
  • Scandinavian countries tend to have smaller gaps between mean and median wealth, reflecting more equitable distribution.
These differences stem from stronger social safety nets, progressive taxation, and universal benefits in Scandinavian countries.
