Watching MTP. It looks like we're not alone.

I think what happened here is that the question creates a "choice" leading most to choose one or the other.

The second thing is that it shows the combination of how the word "capitalism" has increased negatives, while socialism is - at least seen as more benign than capitalism.

Back in 2010, a British English teacher was telling us that she showed her students both the Obama hope poster and a 2010 Republican version that made Obama blacker and replaced "hope" with "socialism". The idea was to show the power of graphics and propaganda. It didn't quite work -- until she explained that in the US "socialism" was considered a bad thing!

It is interesting that this either shows that capitalist has become MORE toxic or socialism ( ie SS, Medicare etc) is becoming less demonized.
