Socialism and young people
Great advances in science and technology, accompanied by unprecedented global integration, have made possible a new era of human prosperity. Yet young people confront a world full of war and want, of massive global poverty and disease, of pending environmental catastrophe, of cultural backwardness and superstition, of assaults on the most basic democratic freedoms.
Students face attacks on public education throughout the country and soaring tuition for college and university. Those who are able to get a higher education graduate with enormous levels of debt and no job prospects. The future of young people is bound up with the fight to overturn the capitalist system and establish a rational, egalitarian, socialist society.
