After socialists had lost the Cold War in the 1980s, many disgruntled leftists made it their goal to win the culture. About 30 years later, millennials are showing they may have won that fight.
During a protest against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s conference where Vice President Mike Pence was speaking in March, a group of left-wing millennials ventured off to protest something even more dangerous to their ideology, a monument in honor of the 100 million people who died under communist regimes.

How ironic that millennials, who have never really known institutionalized oppression, are triggered by a statue commemorating those who died at the hands of a government.
It’s no wonder that they feel such admiration to communist dictators given that far-left activists have been trying to white wash the brutality of communist regimes like Stalin’s Soviet Union, Mao’s China, Fidel’s Cuba, or in present day North Korea.
This is especially true on college campuses, where professors regularly assign Karl Marx books to students or go off on insane tirades defending socialism, as a Montclair English teacher did in 2012 insisting that no one was killed under Stalin.
Words and philosophies have consequences, but these millennials wouldn’t know in their safe space.
