A New Jersey high school announced a socialist club for students amid conservative fears for the rise of socialism across the country
‘Workers of the world, unite!’ read the poster advertising the new club at Highland Park High School.
The club claimed to offer students an opportunity to learn about socialism and ‘ways to solve social problems that don’t involve exploiting the working class.’
The flyer used a picture of German philosopher Karl Marx with the words ‘we want you to help us build a better world.’
The club held their first meeting on December 4. Students were also promised an opportunity to ‘learn media literacy skills along the way.’
Recent studies show that socialism is rising in popularity among young people.
A survey done by the Cato Institute suggested that 62 percent of people aged 18 to 29 have a positive view of socialism.

Every time I see their name, I remember their drumming up hate during the “austerity” decade, where they said benefits claimants were (iirc) >95% fraudulent scroungers conning the system, helping drum up hate enough to excuse culling over 130,000 of them through starvation, freezing, and denied access to transport and healthcare, etc, and it was later revealed the real figure of benefits fraud was less than 0.7%.
What level of trust in their narratives, and political leanings, and integrity, does that leave?
