    My history teacher went over the famine yesterday and said that he was pretty sure that “most Americans are unaware of it” like the entire country hasn’t been raised with the belief that communism means no food

      I'd still say most people don't know it by name, but the vague idea of communist starvation persists. remember, most US history classes are garbage even at teaching propogandized facts.

        History classes will show a black-and-white photo of a breadline and barefoot children, as if there wasn’t an economic crisis happening in the US at the same time the holodomor was supposed to be happening

          notice how the dustbowl is always just kinda brushed over like it wasn't one of the worst things to have ever happened.

      It's really funny how libs and conservatives believe communists simply don't know about these things. I've seen so many random dudes on Twitter condescendingly telling commited and clearly educated communists to "google Holodomor" or "read about the gulags", as if it's possible to learn about communism without coming across that stuff.

      "Kids these days just don't know about the crimes of communism" IT'S LITERALLY THE ONE THING EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT COMMUNISM SHUT THE FUCK UP :agony-consuming:
