According to a recent survey of students conducted by Campus Reform, students love socialism — but they also don’t really know what it is.
Wanting to see what millennials in D.C. thought of socialism, Campus Reform headed to Washington, D.C. to ask students two simple questions: “Do you like socialism?” and “What is socialism?”
It quickly became clear that while most of the people we spoke with held an idyllic view of socialism, most had little idea of what it actually is.
One student said of socialism, “I think people throw that word around to try and scare you, but if helping people is socialism, than I’m for it.”
When asked how she would define socialism, her answer was simple: “I mean honestly I’m not not exactly sure.”
“I guess just, you know, getting rid of that wealth gap in the United States?” ventured another.
One student supported it passionately, saying “It’s more of an open form of government and it feels a lot more accessible to a lot more people,” but when asked to explain what socialism actually entails, could only repeat now-common refrain: “To be quite honest I don’t know.”
It’s telling that they love the concept but can’t explain it. Blame professors who now teach opinions over facts. The students know they’re supposed to like something, but they’ve never been told what it is.

Teachers have to stick to the basic education and keep their opinions and philosophy to themselves, don’t influence students on their political views
