53% of Americans favor capitalism

A recent poll by Rasmussen Reports found that only 53% of Americans are in favor of capitalism. 20% say socialism is better, and 27% aren't sure which is better. Younger Americans under 30 have even more dramatic views on the subject: 37% in favor of capitalism, 33% for socialism, and 30% undecided. With those numbers, you'd think we could all go out and have a revolution tomorrow...but first the working class needs to rebuild its own organizations or create new ones, organizations with leaders who understand the potential of the working class to run society. Too bad these stats won't be showing up on the nightly news. Read the report here.
