90% of that 62% favorable think “socialism” means free healthcare and other social democrat policies.
Which short of China being overthrown and cut up into pieces to be devoured by the west for massive profits will never happen at this late stage of capitalism because the profits have fallen too much, there’s nowhere else to expand, and the greed and cockiness of today’s bourgeoisie is much higher than those who last century in fear gave concessions against the USSR.
It’s perhaps a step but it’s no guarantee it won’t just be recuperated to mean those social democratic policies, it in effect one could argue already has been recuperated. Once even 30% of the population say they support Marxism I’ll be a little more optimistic but I’m not holding my breath for the imperial core in the next decade seeing that.
But even this is going to get the bourgeoisie frothing at the uppity proles for DARING to dream they deserve healthcare, affordable education, a reasonable retirement age, reasonable prices on housing, food, etc.
