Not sure I understand why that's regulated to boomers. Is it to be assumed that younger generations think communism is good?

That’s quite a logical leap; it’s possible that boomers are particularly susceptible to anti-communist ideology without any implication that younger generations are pro-communist. That said, I believe there is some evidence that Millennials in particular have shifted further left with age.
