After hearing ‘radical left politicians’ it’s no wonder Americans warm to socialism

Sky News host Alan Jones says why should anyone be surprised young Americans are favouring socialism over capitalism when they hear “radical left politicians” like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Mr Jones said a survey taken last year found three-quarters of young Americans aged between 23 and 38 favour socialism over capitalism. “We have this here in Australia too”. “Would it be because the crop in which our political leaders come from are flirtatious or sympathetic towards the socialist cause”. Mr Jones spoke with Daily Telegraph columnist Miranda Devine about the issue. Ms Devine said the Mayor has "managed to trash" the city of New York in less than six-years. "He's defunded the police, that's one of his favoured tactics," she said. Image: Getty
