I think it's because we weren't bombarded with Red Scare propaganda. Also, a lot of us are coming to age during a time of a great crisis in capitalism which makes us look for alternatives. Speaking for me personally, I find capitalism illogical and inhumane. I'll be honest my family does pretty good right now, so just looking at income numbers my family is still "middle-class" so you'd think I would be in favor of capitalism. However, when I see the results of capitalism and see all the people who are suffering, I can't stand it.
