I used to be fine with the system as it is, but after the company I worked for closed down because one of the execs was doing some illegal shit I haven't been able to find work since. I don't actually think Communism is the solution, but the current system is flawed - I'm educated, capable of doing work, and more than willing to work, but I've been out of work for two years now functionally because my chosen industry is shrinking as more of it is automated, and because in entry level positions in other industries they'd have to pay me an adult wage instead of a junior one.
I'm more than a little disenfranchised by the whole situation, and have been meeting with a local socialist activist group when not volunteering, and frankly their ideals appeal to me as we move into an increasingly automated world. At what point have all the grunt level jobs been filled mechanically? Not to mention the fact that I'm bitterly angry at the Baby Boomers for demanding every last dollar we have for education, accommodation and the like, and then continuing to blame us whenever they stub their proverbial toe.
I don't want Communism per se, but I definitely want something to change.
