Why Are Teenage Girls Embracing Socialism And Marxism?

I’ve been interested in politics since I was a teenager, but it’s also been a while since I’ve been a teenager. I’m thrilled to see so many teenagers take an interest in politics today (whereas I was the nerd of my high school government class), but I’ve noticed that many teenage girls have embraced far-left policies like Socialism and Marxism.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with teenagers embracing these ideas. Young people are much more common to embrace left-wing ideologies than right-wing ideologies. What struck me as interesting is that teenagers seem to be further along the left side of the political spectrum than they used to be.
