Record Number Of Americans Are Losing Faith In Capitalism - The Logical Leftist [View all]



Are Americans losing faith in capitalism? A recent Gallup poll suggests they might be. With only 54% of the population viewing capitalism positively—down from 60% in 2021—this video unpacks the implications of this significant shift.

We’ll break down the numbers, revealing that just 42% of Democrats and over half of independents have a favorable view of capitalism, while three-quarters of Republicans still support it. What’s driving this divide?

Additionally, we’ll clarify the misconceptions surrounding socialism. It’s not about government ownership; it’s about workers owning their businesses and sharing responsibilities. Could this model be more relevant than we think?

As we explore these themes, we’ll also highlight a striking statistic from The Wall Street Journal: nearly 70% of Americans believe the American dream is no longer attainable.
