A promotional flyer obtained by Fox News Digital shows that a high school in a well-to-do New Jersey suburb is advertising a brand-new club for young socialists.
The Highland Park High School Socialist Club in New Jersey held its first meeting Thursday at lunchtime, according to the flyer. The teen anti-capitalists are advised by a Mr. Girvan.
“WE WANT YOU,” the flyer says above an image of infamous communist Karl Marx, who is pointing toward the reader. The image is a play on the famous “I WANT YOU” illustration, a WWI Army recruiting poster that features “Uncle Sam.”
“Learn ways to solve social problems that don’t involve exploiting the working class,” the flyer says.

Further promotional slogans include, “Learn what socialism is — not just what they tell you,” “Learn media and literacy skills along the way,” and “To help us build a better world!”
“Workers of the world unite!” the bottom of the flyer says, employing one of the most common socialist phrases.
Highland Park is located southwest of New York City, and the median household income is more than $100,000, according to Census Reporter, which is well higher than the national average of $83,730.
