But the trend goes well beyond those two, as polls show American voters across the country – in particular, young people and Democrats – increasingly warming to socialism over capitalism. Fast-forward to August 2018, and that same age group backs socialism over capitalism, 51 percent to 45 percent. But now, 57 percent say they hold a positive view of socialism, compared with just 47 percent who say the same for capitalism. Polling experts say Bernie Sanders' softer brand of "Democratic socialism" has sold well among young people partly because they have no personal memory of Soviet-style socialism. The Soviet Union went by the full name “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,” or USSR.
