The Daily Mail – In a year when Bernie Sanders is making his second run for president and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a political Twitter star eclipsed only by Donald Trump, socialism is on the rise among Americans, especially women.
A Harris Poll conducted for Axios found 55-percent of U.S. women between age 18-55 would rather live in a socialist society than a capitalist one. That number was 40-percent overall, including men, suggesting men are far more suspicious of communal ownership and control of everything.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, both self-described Democratic socialists, have pulled their party to the left with promises of expanded government benefits and handouts.
