Socialism sounds like a great concept and Communism is basically Socialism taken to extremes. You have young adults who are disillusioned with gov't and Capitalism, but advocate the destruction of the the economic system that has given them their quality of life and want to consolidate power into the hands of the gov't it dislikes. Madness.
Ultimately, every person I've known (small anecdotal group, I know) clings to the utopian idea of Socialism because it sounds great....and they won't let history or pesky logic stand in the way.
