For Millennials, Words of Marx More Agreeable Than Those from Bible

More good news about the ���younger generation.���

Christian Post is reporting on the results of a new poll conducted jointly by YouGov and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation that reveal statements of seminal communist figure Karl Marx enjoy more support from American millennials than do Biblical declarations about the importance of work in establishing one���s right to eat.

Specifically, when asked if they agree with Marx���s statement that ���From each according to his abilities, to each according to his need,��� 64 percent of millennials said, ���yes,��� but when asked if they agree with the Biblical expression that ���if any would not work, neither should he eat,��� millennials agreed with that sentiment only to the tune of 53 percent.

Perhaps even more disturbing is other information from the poll that reveals some millennials think more people died at the hands of George W. Bush than Joseph Stalin, as well as that only 37 percent of millennials hold a ���very unfavorable��� opinion of communism, in comparison to 57 percent of Americans, overall.

(An aside: Only 57 percent of all Americans see communism as ���very unfavorable���? Talk about feeling doomed���)

In a statement on the poll results, Marion Smith, executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, said, ���One of the concerns the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has had since its establishment is that an emerging generation of Americans have little understanding of the collectivist system and its dark history. Unfortunately, this report, which we intend to release on an annual basis, confirms this worrisome impression.���
