To illustrate the point.

(Also, interesting observations about "white supremacists" in Australia.)

Damn, there are a lot of Africans in Melbourne. I really like that guy.

We get a lot of sun here.



What is interesting is that the "white supremacists" are of Indian, African American, arabic and aboriginal descent, yet they don't buy into this Antifa bs.

It is interesting. While mainly white in US, a lot of blacks are on board. As to  Indian, arabic and aboriginal descent, seems not so much

The irony, of course, is that the shrieking accusations of white supremacy are in those countries which are the LEAST racist.

The people labelling others white supremacists are usually Caucasian and many of the people they call that are not.

Such is the madness of socialism. Truth and reality are not factors.

I wonder if they actually believe what they say.

Australia is a prosperous nation. They can't really use class divisions, so they use race.

Which doesn't really work for them either because Australia is heavily multi-racial. Non whites are predominantly Indian and South East Asian, and they have nothing to complain about.

They wouldn't immigrate to Australia if it was governed bywhite supremacists.

I didn't need an Axios poll to confirm what I think most us can see with our own eyes.



Why More Young People Favor Socialism and What We Should Do



A growing number of young people now favor socialism over capitalism. According to author Mary Eberstadt, that's because these young people have been deliberately miseducated, and they should learn more about the history and truth.



"What young people need to understand is that there are deep reasons why they're being fed that narrative. They are being deprived of the grandeur of their country's history and its lessons. And the reasons for this are that they are the backbone of a political movement that exploits them, called progressivism," Eberstadt said.



Eberstadt is a Senior Research Fellow at the Faith & Reason Institute. She is an essayist, novelist, and author of several books. She was a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution from 2002–2013 and was a speechwriter for Secretary of State George Schultz between 1985 and 1987.



Eberstadt said that it's now been generations that a certain kind of anti-Americanism has been dominant, especially on university and college campuses.



n June, an Axios/Momentive poll showed that 51 percent of 18–24-year-olds view socialism positively, 54 percent of this age group view capitalism negatively.



Eberstadt said there's a great need for young people to understand the history of communism and socialism and other truths that their teachers have deprived them of for political reasons.



"It was always said that socialism just hadn't been tried right. And this was used to excuse failure after failure in every country that attempted to implement a Marxist regime," Eberstadt continued.



She added that Marxism actually has a lot to do with progressivism.



"I can say this with authority because when I was in college, which was decades ago, Marxism was prevalent on all the elite campuses," said Eberstadt, who graduated from Cornell University in 1983. "And it's coming back in this sort of softer form that goes by socialism, but it shares a lot of Marxist precepts."

Real socialism doesn't exist anymore. It has been taken over by rich progressives. Progressivism and real socialism are like oil and water.
