Capitalism’s image has slipped with U.S. adults overall since 2021, the survey finds, and the results show a gradual but persistent shift in Democrats’ support for the two ideologies over the past 15 years, with socialism rising as capitalism falls. The shifts underscore deep divisions within the party about whether open support for socialism will hurt Democrats’ ability to reach moderates or galvanize greater support from people who are concerned about issues like the cost of living.

...But Democrats under 50 are much less likely to view capitalism favorably, while the opinions of Democrats ages 50 and older haven’t shifted meaningfully, according to Gallup.

Yep. I liked techies better when they were libertarians. Now they are just straight up Nazis drinking their own tech elite ubermenschen kool aid. They are anti-libertarian now because freedom would mean allow free market competition to their aspiring monopolies. They'd rather just control the government to protect their idiot investments rather than let the free market flourish
