Surprise: Democrats Now Favor Socialism Over Capitalism

Do they actually know what Socialism is per Political Science 101? Or what it actually means for Modern Socialism? Are they willing to give up their own money, or, do they want to make their own money and have money taken from Other People to pay for all the free stuff?

Dems now favor socialism over capitalism by this overwhelming amount: new poll

Democrats now overwhelmingly have a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism, according to a shocking new poll.

Nearly 60% of party members support socialism compared to 18% who view it negatively, while just 32% have a favorable view of capitalism compared to 50% who see it as negative, according to the CBS News/YouGov survey.

The poor marks for capitalism among Democrats get even worse when narrowed down to those who have a college degree, with 71% of that group favoring socialism compared to 16% viewing it unfavorably, the poll showed.

The disturbing findings come as Democrats are engaged in a so-called “battle for the soul” of their party.

Democratic Socialists of America-backed and allied candidates have had a series of breakthrough victories in Democratic primaries across the country throughout the 2026 election cycle.

Will the be good with the Government taking over their own small businesses? Running their big businesses?

When asked to describe the free market, an overwhelming 66% of respondents said it was good for the US economy, compared to 34% who called it bad.

Yet on a policy level, there are signs that even Republicans are supportive of certain policies historically associated with socialism, such as price controls.

Economists generally oppose price controls, arguing they can disrupt supply and demand, which can lead to consequences such as shortages of certain goods or services.

How is massive government intervention in healthcare and higher education working out? But, of course, things like price controls, rent control, and more are not the point. It’s all the other things that comes with Modern Socialism, starting with Government controlling your life and restricting your freedom. And then just the ultra-Crazy, like no borders, no police, no prisons. A lot of the support is from Millennials and Gen Z, who were indoctrinated into this belief.
