Socialism and atheism are on the rise globally.

It's not really surprising if you think about how unfettered capitalists treat people. I mean like some of the stuff that's happened are almost comical levels of cartoon villain type stuff. Almost to the point that I'm like did you just take lessons from it when you were younger or what my dude?

I'm glad the younger generations seem to have more sense. I became more socialist leaning myself during the second Trump administration of 2025.

I'm not atheist but I'm secular in the fact that I support the separation of church and state. I don't really know what I was before or how I would define it even now but I know things aren't working and can't continue to work as they once were. It just can't sorry.

Between 18 to 29 years of age, 60% of people approve of socialism ☺

@SatanBurger I would like to say, what really is needed is closer to a democracy with real very strong individual rights, for only people.

The way socialism has been implemented has gotten far too capitalistic, because of the lack of constitutional rights.

We are not a democracy. We are a Republic.

The differences in all of that is vast.

Anytime a concept can have rights, like in the 10th and 14th amendments, you give away your individual rights to the concept.

You give away your rights under the electorial system. That is what a Republic is all about. You let someone else decide for you as well as a group of other people.

Taking rights away from the people is exactly why slavery is still in the constitution.

It never was removed. Just overridden.

Republics take away Rights from the people. And give those rights to the few.

Without a set of basic rights for only people, the government can eventually become capitalistic.

That applies to both socialism and communism.
