APAG is right to a degree. Millennials I have been around definitely want to get rich and enjoy the life but they are somewhat like us fabled Boomers in that they also want a social component to life in these United States. Unfettered capitalism is a cold hard master where the losers lose big. So we have this hybrid.
It is also true that you can't have communism without the slaughter of the millions who won't go for it. Happens every time. I have always been a staunch anti communist because when i was young and wanting to change the world I wanted to make it better, not worse
Its cold war thinking to think that in order to make capitalism better we need social or communism. Believe it or not our system is constantly inventing this hybrid mix.
Hey old man
Id push you down the stairs and go get a latte with my parents money afterward.
Millennial don't have the baggage you do when it comes to capitalism/socialism/communism. You bought into the government propaganda of capitalism = good, socialism and communism = evil. When they're really they're just economic systems. There is no good or evil.
Human beings when presented with an argument that they disagree with will fall to the other extreme if the side they disagree with is unwilling to budge. Capitalism is the best economic system anyone has come up with but it's not perfect. Where and when it fails we should be willing to use other methods. Instead you cling desperately to capitalism. Pushing millennials to the other side.
The very idea that my lifestyle would be more or less the same as some @MikeSeaver - type character is morally offensive.
Yes, I bought in. Some baggage is good baggage. This happens to be good baggage because it's true.
There has yet to be a system known to man to eliminate scarcity better than the big Cap. And, as far as I can tell, even though we are wandering into the brave new world of warehouse providers of all we need, the shit that goes into that warehouse is coming from the same places it always has, and is still made with finite resource inputs.
When we get to the Star Trek point, and have machines that make shit out of thin air, call me and I'll re-evaluate.

Exactly.
Though I'm partial to the cold hard (it's hard) master because I know I will always be on the right end of it, as will my progeny.
