I don’t know how meaningful the question really is, and fuck YouGov, but still thought the data were interesting and vaguely positive.

This is from 2023
29% of the UK support Communism
53% of the UK support Socialism
39% of the people asked to define Socialism define it correctly

Worryingly, young people in the U.K. (ages 18-34) also have the highest levels of support for communism (29 per cent) and fascism (19 per cent) among the four countries.
yeah those are both equally worrying!
That is actually hecking cool. Despite our shitty electoral politics, there are already a good number of people actually caring about socialism.
Yeah they’re very good figures we just need to work on educating more and more people on the definition but the figures are excellent.
That 29% are basically going to form the immediate base of literally any new party effort once it finally goes into action. We are a third of the country.
I do wonder how the question was posed. I don’t think many people would openly admit to supporting fascism, but if you broke the question down into certain policy choices I feel like the number would skew higher. But that could just be me.
On the otherhand that would also mean less people are apprehensive about openly admitting they’d support communism, which would be cool.

which is why i count the “don’t know” votes as “fascism, but i’m not gonna say that out loud”
At least some of them are “communism, but i’m not gonna say that out loud”.
can’t do revolution their parties are too busy hating on the transgenders
Reactionaries gonna reactionary. The good takeaway is that most people don’t really seem to agree with the main parties anyway.
I do NOT want to see the numbers for America, they’ll be way worse
I want to see numbers for America, we must know the painful truth.
If you HAD to choose between Communism and Fascism
Oh no, please don’t force me to make this choice, it’s impossible.
I need to watch a civil debate between both sides where these positions are discussed in the free market place of ideas before I can make a decision.
At the end of the day, fascists are human too and we both want what’s best for the country, we just have different ways of getting there, and I think we can agree to disagree.

YO thats enough for a revolution
Reform UK
Given the party is one step away from explicitly labelling themselves as fascist, it’s not too much of a surprise.
If you gave that survey in the US people would be like “BUT GOMUDISM IS FASHISM!11!”
That gray bar is black in reality
I personally think it’s mostly people who really have no consciousness about politics whatsoever.
I see that my constant nagging down the pub is slowly having an effect
thank you for your service o7
I love how the worker’s party (allegedly) has less people wanting communism than the fucking gardeners party.
but
instead pls
C2DE isn’t a party, it’s just a social classification
somehow better, but also worse to know, thank you
If this keeps up, Churchill is going to send the army into Wales again.
5% of Labour voters preferring fascism must be turbo politically confused.
Have you seen Kier Stürmer’s policies? Those 5% are the only honest ones.
no theyre actually the most congnizent of all labour voters, they know wat they really are
Blairites
I’m more baffled by the 25% of Tory voters preferring communism. I want to meet these people who support the conservatives but don’t actively want fascism??
21% of reform is even more insane, we could form a British ACP to split their vote
Genuinely not a bad idea to reduce their power
Government does stuffism
I love the wording
If you HAD to choose between a nice sandwich and getting mauled by a wolverine, which would you choose?
