  4. 60% are American.
  5. 80% use English as their primary language.
  6. 71% are irreligious.

  8. ~
  9. 73% claim to be attending/have attended post-secondary education without a degree or less (this means that according to the sub itself 73% of the sub is, at most, attending college or some other form of higher education currently and has, at most, a high school diploma, GED, or vocational certificate). 34% claim to be in/have graduated from high school or lower. 25% claim to have a degree of some kind. 1% decline to answer.
  10. 49% are unemployed. 47% are employed, but only 17% are employed full time. The rest are "other" or on disability.
  11. 79% claim to be workers, at the same time.
  12. 61% live with their parents and 30% rent, while 4 people so far claim to be homeless.
  13. 37% claim to be comfortable with their wealth, 33% claim to have adequate wealth, and 24% claim to be "poor (livable)".
  14. The top three things that they've been afraid that they can't afford are, in order, education (57%), healthcare (53%), and transportation (45%). Big shocker, right?
  15. ~
  16. Their leading ideology is "Libertarian Socialist" at 31%, which is entirely fictional and self-contradicting mind you. Anarcho-Communist is second at 27%, Democratic Socialist is third at 25%, Anarchist (AnSocs) is fourth at 20%, and syndicalists are fifth at 19%. 1% are not socialists (and are presumably banned) and 18% don't know. 81% are socialists, as everybody would expect.
  17. 2 people claim to be "Libertarian Marxists" in the next section, proving their utter lack of knowledge on ideological matters.
  18. Apparently socialists would work with just about any other anti-market socialist in general, with 83% saying they'd work with Anarcho-Communists, but just 41% saying that they'd work with liberals on the left and 8% saying that they'd work with liberals on the right. There's a strong bent in favor of DemSocs and radical communists of all kinds and a strong bent against moderate socialists of any kind.
  19. ~
  20. 75% are not a member of a party and 25% are
  21. 38% of those in a party identify as being in a "broad left party".
  22. 63% not in a party say that it's because they have "nothing nearby" and 51% claim to not have time.
  23. Most of the parties that people belong to seem to be UK-based.
  24. Those in a party seem to be mostly satisfied with it.
  25. 76% have never been in a labour union (it seems ironic, but since so many don't work full-time jobs it makes sense).
  26. ~
  27. Around 65% favor a violent means to establishing socialism, although it's difficult to be very accurate since they made a mess of this part of the poll.
  28. 66% explicitly favor incorporating intersectionalism.
  29. 80% oppose free speech.
  30. Around 86% favor AntiFa and violence against those they deem "fascists".

  32. 48% explicitly support violent protest and 90% don't condemn violent protest.
  33. 47% think that socialists should be actively organizing protests and 30% think that they should be there to "confront the tools of the state".
  34. 40% want their socialist utopia to be a direct-democracy.
  35. 46% think that UBI is a "step in the right direction" while 36% call it "neoliberal garbage".

  44. 62% don't use the sub's Discord.
  45. Their favorite mod is "No Gods, No Masters!", which is ironic given their sub's reputation for censorship.
  46. There are mostly no questions for the next survey.
