Of all the respondents, 89.3 percent of those born in or after 2000 identify with Marxism, the highest percentage of all age groups, the newspaper reported Friday.

This is followed by those born between 1980 and 1990 and those born between 1990 and 2000, of whom 88 percent and 87.8 percent identify with Marxism respectively.
