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

Given the party is one step away from explicitly labelling themselves as fascist, it’s not too much of a surprise.

If you HAD to choose between Communism and Fascism

Oh no, please don’t force me to make this choice, it’s impossible.

I need to watch a civil debate between both sides where these positions are discussed in the free market place of ideas before I can make a decision.

At the end of the day, fascists are human too and we both want what’s best for the country, we just have different ways of getting there, and I think we can agree to disagree.

Meanwhile those evil communists want to abolish the country and take your home to give to an immigrant!

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!

I personally think it’s mostly people who really have no consciousness about politics whatsoever.
