This article contrasts the difference of opinion about capitalism, socialism between the different age categories. Same source for the data, I haven't done any analysis on the reliability of their numbers.
The survey found that 38 per cent of millennials hold "very unfavourable" views of communism, fewer than the average across all age categories (57 per cent).
Fewer millennials also have very unfavourable opinions of socialism (15 per cent), compared to a 30 per cent average.
The survey found a similar dynamic around capitalism. Only 42 per cent of millennials have a positive view of the system, compared to 54 per cent of baby boomers and 71 per cent of mature adults.

I'm going to guess that, for at least the past 60 years, Yong people have consistently been more sympathetic to "communism" than older cohorts so none of this means very much without comparisons to older polling.
And again, the apparent tendency to conflate socialism (economic system) with Communism (authoritarian political system + economic system) makes the poll rather useless imo.
