A Harris Poll conducted for Axios found that 55 per cent of U.S. women between the ages of 18 and 55 would rather live in a socialist society than a capitalist one. That number was 40 per cent overall, including men, suggesting men are far more suspicious of communal ownership and control of everything in American society. Americans differ in their interpretation of what constitutes socialism, according to the Axios poll, with some policy proposals more universally lumped in with the scheme than others. Majorities also thought high taxes for rich Americans, a government that spends heavily and strong environmental regulations were hallmarks of socialism. An Axios reporter said Sunday on the news outlet's HBO program that women have been 'pushing the conversation' about politics in a leftward direction.
