On the revival of socialism and communism in the West, a March 2019 poll showed that the majority of American youth between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four were supportive of socialism (Trévon Austin, “New Poll Shows American Youth Are Increasingly Supportive of Socialism,” World Socialist Web Site, March 13, 2019, https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/03/13/yout-m13.html [accessed November 18, 2019]). Faced with such a social trend and the increasingly pro-socialist Democrats, President Trump emphasized, in his 2019 State of the Union address, that “America will never be a socialist country.”
