It is all too easy to sneer at the astonishing ignorance of the half of all younger Americans who say they would prefer living in a socialist country. It is much harder to do something about it. Kudos for a new non-profit organization, Young Americans Against Socialism, for embarking on that mission.

YAAS’ founder and CEO, Morgan Zegers, ran a credible campaign for the New York State Assembly in 2018, the same year she graduated from American University. On video she is almost preternaturally engaging, smiling, upbeat. While an observer must wait to see how an organization actually operates before pronouncing it worthy of support, YAAS’ stated mission and strategy both look admirable.
