ANALYSIS: We asked voters about the 'S' word and even if they support it, they don't all know what it is
Socialism is generally much more popular in Australia than America, but there are nuances in what Australians and Americans like and don't like about socialism.
Here Australians report more socialist preferences than Americans, with clear majorities for government control in six out nine cases, spanning roads and highways , health care and hospitals , public transport , schools and universities , electricity, gas and water and aged care .In one only case out of nine — roads and highways — do a majority of Americans prefer government to private sector control or indifference, and only barely, with 51 per cent support.
In six out of nine sectors we asked about, older Australians support public ownership and operation at rates of around 75 per cent or higher, typically outpacing younger Australians on this score by more than 20 percentage points.
