      She's cornered the market on fake defector stories. Got to feel bad for the balding 40-year old diplomats that defected, they don't stand a chance against her.

              Meanwhile, here I am in an ex communist country, just begging my boomer parents to recall even a fraction of the theory they were supposedly forced to study. How can you not have even a basic understanding of class struggle when you grew up in a socialist country you twerps!

            If you know what the word "proletariat" means, do you know what that makes you? Well read and erudite... for a Communist!

            Ok, but the US has actually literally said this about literacy rates in Cuba and South America :kermit-pain:

            I know US Americans who unironically believe this. Like, when you mention how literacy rates improve dramatically when socialists are power say in Cuba or Nicaragua, they say that's only because they want to feed people "commie propaganda" and that's the only thing they are allowed to read.

            Funny enough, the people I'm thinking of see nothing wrong with sending their kids to private Christian schools where learning about science involves teaching the earth is <10k years old and history is about how the Israelites left Egypt under Moses. They don't let their kids read Harry Potter and they can't listen to any music other than praise & worship and classical music. Ask me how I know...
