Aint no way a third of gen z has favorable views of communism. Maybe this is just my experience living in a red state but I know like 5 people irl who I would say have a favorable view of communism and I either convinced them of it or made an effort to find them through orgs. This is fox trying to scare republicans more than it is truth. I can't even mention communism to the average person I know without them vomiting American propaganda and thought terminating cliches

Communism as a concept, or what the world actually got?

Because those are not the same thing.

Well. There are basically 3 times when communism worked pretty well.

They all ended rather violently due to a ___-backed ____. (You know the words that go in the blanks.)

Cato institute is not a very reliable source imo. Admittedly did not look up this study but this is TV news and they are in the business first and foremost of trying to frighten their viewers (never watch TV news BTW). Fox viewers would be petrified by these numbers. I'm guessing that perhaps a disproportionate portion of the sample was college students, city dwellers or even just people that know how to read. Ie. Not a representative sample most likely. Also, this is not the demographic politicians pay the most attention to.

From the Cato Institute:

"Young Americans Like Socialism Too Much—That’s a Problem Libertarians Must Fix"

Not biased at all! /s
