I don't know how meaningful the question really is, and fuck YouGov, but still thought the data were interesting and vaguely positive.

29% of the UK support Communism

53% of the UK support Socialism

39% of the people asked to define Socialism define it correctly

That is actually hecking cool. Despite our shitty electoral politics, there are already a good number of people actually caring about socialism.

Yeah they're very good figures we just need to work on educating more and more people on the definition but the figures are excellent.

That 29% are basically going to form the immediate base of literally any new party effort once it finally goes into action. We are a third of the country.

Worryingly, young people in the U.K. (ages 18-34) also have the highest levels of support for communism (29 per cent) and fascism (19 per cent) among the four countries.

yeah those are both equally worrying!
