PSL: Why do young people in the US favor socialism?

6. I too was really struck by this poll but not overly surprised

Millenials seem really open to change. My son and his friends (college age) are all really interested in alt social/ec models. Why not Socialism; free health care, education, living wage. Forget about semantics, ideology, it all makes so much sense. I grew up as a late (possibly betweener) baby boomer and throughout my adult life voted democratic but always felt an affinity for Socialism. In the eighties it seemed distant, now, not so much so.
