i had a really good US history teacher in high school that planted the seeds for my radicalization. we hardly ever used the textbook and instead he would print out packets and show us documentaries. he spent a lot of time emphasizing how important the communists and unions were during the labor movement, and much anti-communism and mccarthy-ism fucked up this country. and when we had a mock presidential debate he picked me to be Eugene V Debs :debs:
My neolib/neocon history teacher printed out a Howard Zinn analysis of WWI to deconstruct and criticize. I guess he participated a little too much in the "free marketplace of ideas" :O
Jealous. My high school history teacher had us watch Not Without My Daughter to learn about the Iranian Revolution
lol I've heard about that movie but I've never seen it, but it's on my list. and I'm really glad that you and everyone else here were able to be radicalized because everyone i went to school with was/is a chud :af-heart:
