Why Are Millennial Women Embracing Socialism And Marxism?
I first read "The Communist Manifesto" when I was a junior in college. To be completely honest, I didn't understand the appeal of Marxism when I first read it and still don't to this day. The entire premise reminded me of a dystopian novel.

Judging by the history of Marxism from the Soviet Union to Cuba, I didn't understand why anyone would want to embrace it. A few weeks after I finished reading Karl Marx's infamous manifesto, Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy for the 2016 Presidential Election as a Democratic Socialist. He won over millennials across the country, especially millennial women.
