Millennials Roast Capitalism: Small Biz Gets MVP Crown
In the 2025 showdown of capitalism vs. big business, just 54% of Americans still pull the capitalism card, down from a high-five-worthy 2021. Big business? Consider the applause mostly crickets now at 37%, tumbling from 52% in 2019 like a failed TikTok trend. Zooming in on Gen Z and millennials, only 43% have good vibes for capitalism, but socialism perks up with a surprising 49% cheerāmaybe because Zohran Mamdani, a shiny new Democratic socialist NYC mayor hopeful, is making rent freezes cool again. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez keep preaching de-growth gospel, causing a graceful decline but still sparking political ping pong along party lines. Gallupās August poll of 1,094 adults with a 4% error margin reveals Americaās capitalist faith is shakier than a double espresso on a Monday morning.
