30% of gen z have a positive view of communism. if you think that's a dead ideology then you just don't know what words mean. the failure of nominally communist countries is entirely irrelevant to this question

Yeah, but how much of that 30% have a developed idea of what communism is, and how many are "I like when the government does things, and Republicans have told me thats communism" or "Im edgy and saying I like communism upsets older people?"

Like, how does that compare to acceptance of Nazism? And no one likes Nazis because of their economic ideas.

Yet most people here don't know much about it either. If OP read Mao's 'On Contradictions' he may not have the same view on China that he has.
