I am not talking the Democratic party, or the Green or Liberal party in Canada, but the new neosocialist, antiglobalization, pro-revolutionary groups popping up all around the world, "Naomi Klein socialists."

The younger people are, the greater is the tendency to think that the world should work the way it did when they were kids - where everything was handed to them, everyone (in their family) was taken care of, and they could scream and whine to get their way.

I think there are many people that are feed up with the 2 party political system in this country. Many feel that come election time it is more of a vote for the 'lesser of two evils'. Both parties are criminal, both parties have become complacent and I think a thrid, fourth, even a fifth party would be a good thing for this country. Give people choices, make the parties take a stand and we'd probably get a better all around government in the process.

They are attracted to a an idealistic panacea in which there is no poverty or riches. Everyone shares the income of the society equally. Everyone shares all the power. It's unfortunate that this ideology is both alluring and impossible. This plan has never worked in the history of man. It will never work because too many people are lazy and selfish. Socialist and Communist societies are always ruled by authoritarian regimes who share neither the wealth nor the power.

young students get sucked in by ultra liberal profs who regularly criticize the right. For example: my poly sci prof referred to George W. Bush, the President of the US...as "that coke head who never got elected". He also made us read his dissertion for his phD and then tested us on it.... Young people are impressionable...it's unfortunate. The disenfranchised are usually people who don't work, or think they are owed something just because they are alive...and they like the social programs the left loves to set up....

Young students think they are helping the poor by giving the poor more social programs, the poor think they are helping themselves by getting more social programs. What neither group realizes is that having too many social programs creates a dependency and a rut that is harder to get out of than the poverty they were originally in.

The same thing that drives them to the ideology of the far right.....disenfranchisement.

I would guess that it is a reaction to the increasing extremism of the right. This is a natural balancing effect, don't you think?
When things seem to be getting regressive, thank goodness someone gets progressive!
