EWR361- Has Gen Z Turned to the Dark Side? | Guest: Ryan Helfenbein - Economic War Room

Kevin Freeman and Ryan Helfenbein discuss the surge of youth support for socialist candidates, highlighting a generational divide and citing surveys showing favorable views of socialism and even communism among younger voters. They argue that grievances over cost of living, perceived lack of opportunity, and long-term institutional capture in education, media, and churches have primed young Americans toward socialist solutions. Helfenbein contrasts socialism’s historic failures with free-market democratic capitalism’s record on human flourishing, while emphasizing that faith, purpose, and community are essential antidotes to materialism-driven ideologies. The conversation spotlights Liberty University’s faith-centered education model and advocacy through the Standing for Freedom Center as part of a broader strategy to restore economic and cultural foundations.
