Why is it that the rich and privileged kids get so suckered by communism, anarchism, Marxism, and fascism? My thought:

Kids feel guilty and feel the need to self-flagellate themselves for their privilege, wealth, and high class.

Why? Perhaps the Puritanical guilt in America. Perhaps liberal left-leaning radical professors (a lot who are either closet or overt Marxists) which brainwash their high class students in the top UC schools and even liberal Ivy League schools. Perhaps the desire to sacrifice themselves for a cause— the Christian martyr complex?
