Sky News host Alan Jones says why should anyone be surprised young Americans are favouring socialism over capitalism when they hear “radical left politicians” like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Mr Jones said a survey taken last year found three-quarters of young Americans aged between 23 and 38 favour socialism over capitalism. “We have this here in Australia too”. “Would it be because the crop in which our political leaders come from are flirtatious or sympathetic towards the socialist cause”. Mr Jones spoke with Daily Telegraph columnist Miranda Devine about the issue. Ms Devine said the Mayor has "managed to trash" the city of New York in less than six-years. "He's defunded the police, that's one of his favoured tactics," she said. Image: Getty

    @jo924144 years ago IF a COUNTRY HAS NO POLICE, I.C.E. then same as FBI has to go too. There no needs for courts, judges, lawyers and any things to do with laws. OPEN-BOREDERS = anyone can come into the country with drugs or arms freely while the citizens are not armed.
    There will be no stopping for anyone to take whatever they wanted and to any house they choose to stay. NOBODY WILL OR STOP ANYBODY TO HELP THEMSELVES AFTERALL LAWS DO NOT EXISTED ANYMORE. WHO WILL BE STUPID TO DO BUSINESS LIKE SUPERMARKET WHERE ANYONE CAN TAKE WHATEVER THEY WANTED. THERE WILL BE EVERYONE WILL DO NOTHING FOR THERE WILL BE NO BUYING NOR SELLING, NO NEEDS FOR JOBS THERE WON'T BE ANY.
    It is plain and simple do whatever you like even finish-off anyone who offended you. Rape anyone you fancied.
    No laws No police No Court No ONE will be arrested for every wrong deeds even murders. WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY OF NO-LAWS .AND THIS COUNTRY WILL CEASED TO BE A COUNTRY AND THERE NO NEEDS FOR GOVERNMENTS AND THIS IS A FACT OF REALITY. WILL THE BLM OR ANTIFA OR ORGANISATIONS OF EXTREMIST RULE THE LAWLESS LAND IF YES WILL THEY NOT FORM THEIR RULES(LAWS) TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE. IN SHORT IT IS THE SAME AS POLICE TO HELD ANYONE BREAK THEIR RULES(LAWS)!
    ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT ARE BEING DEMANDED : ABOLISH THE POLICE, ICE ETC.
    THERE SHOULD BE A FINISHING POINT ... NOW OR NEVER.
    ALL LIVES MATTER... POLICE IN DEMAND SO DO PRISONS BE BUILT FOR OUTLAWS AND LAWLESS PEOPLE.

    @TBoneTony4 years ago Well I may enjoy Russian music and I have played a few Russian Video Games like Tetris.
    But I also know a fair bit about Russian History to understand how dangerous Socialism is as well as read novels like Animal Farm as well as being aware of what happened to the Romanovs after seeing the animated movie Anastasia from the 90s.
    Sure fiction is fiction with elements of true historic events tied up with a fairy tale but it is a good bridge to researching real history of what really happened and the lessons of the past that should never be repeated.
    So many people in western countries have poor understanding of 20th Century history.

    @ausermeg94284 years ago Peaceful Protests? In 1928 Jozsef Pogany was sent to the US by Stalin to bring the American Communist party in line with policies from Moscow. Under the pen name John Pepper he wrote “American Negro Problems”. In 1935 James Ford wrote “The Negroes in a Soviet America”. Both books discuss the exploitation of race relations as the most fragile portion of the American fabric that can be used toward the goal of communist revolution. In 1958 former member of Communist Party, Manning Johnson wrote “Color, Communism and Common Sense” as a warning that Communists were only interested in using African Americans “as cannon fire in a bloody revolution to destroy America”, and not necessarily to improve their condition. These and other Communist publications discuss strategy for overthrowing American democracy that is so strikingly similar to what is going on today, that it can't be ignored. Wake up America, don't be used. ...

    @danmccarron04 years ago hmm.. "favour," "druthers"
    if you are quoting him he wouldn't have written "favor" this way. and "druthers" isn't common in American parlance. not even when you're trying to sound intelligent.
    I'm skeptical that this is a quotation from Bill de Blasio, but of course I believe you about his proclivity for socialist policies because he is a very left wing Democrat. although his behavior is more about playing to the Democrat party agenda, which in today's world is centered around crashing the system so that Trump can't get any accolades.
