After 2 months of studying, 20/26 students in the class anonymously chose communism over capitalism on the last week before Christmas break. Teacher thought she was subtly upset (apparently wasn’t subtle) and had the class redo the poll after their final exam on the subject to see if they “learned anything since then”
22/26 students chose communism in the second poll.
I know it isn’t much but dammit it made me feel good
For context this is in NYC
amazed the teacher gave them the opportunity to actually learn about communism instead of just saying "gommunibm no food" over and over
Funny enough most of the work was independent research from home.
Really makes you think
:thinkin-lenin:
Revise the curriculum all you want, the revolution will find its way
Based
Hopefully they bully the four nerds that stuck with capitalism.
literally using the n word with the hard r, this is the so-called "tolerant" left
I swear I only play every now and again these days. I can be re-educated!
Especially cool because capitalists love to talk about how they definitely invented division of labour
My AP euro teacher told us communism caused the famine because farmers realized they could not work and still get paid the same so no one worked. And like a bunch of other supply problems because no one was working
the farmers realized they could not work and still get paid the same so nobody worked
Ah yes as we all know, people prefer to die than to work. That’s why almost all of the hunter gatherers are dead
In 7th grade I was told it was when wealth was distributed completely equally but most of it was taxed by the government
Capitalism is a type of oligarchical government in which no one shares resources and everyone gets vastly different amounts regardless of how much they work.
That was pretty much what I was taught, and my reaction was like, “Yeah, wow, that does sound shitty.”
I recently realized my history teacher from high school was probably a communist, she described the soviet gov as improving ppl's standard of living and we talked a lot about the Russian struggle against the nazis, (I live in France btw) and now I realized this associated communism with positive images early
Same except mine had aa bust of Lenin on his desk and I was just an idiot.
Apparently something similar happened when my little brother’s class did their own research.
Crazy how ideas that work for the majority of people are popular with the majority of people
Haha, in my government class we were being taught different systems of government. There was like, confederation/federation/unitary, capitalism/socialism/communism, democratic/oligarchic/dictatorial or something like that. Obviously government systems aren't decided in a vacuum, and for a high school class the whole curriculum was a joke, but the class voted for democratic communism and the teacher got mad and said we voted for North Korea lol.
When I was doing online school for a year and a half, we were taught about the Cuban missile crisis. We actually learned about the American aggression in Turkey that led up to it as well as the roles of JFK and Khrushchev. They had us vote on who did more to prevent war and the majority said Khrushchev did.
I’m glad your teacher is working hard to dispel myths about the DPRK
Haha, back then I bought into all the propaganda against the DPRK.
I was so pissed when I found out about the Turkey thing independently after having learned about the Cuban Missile Crisis without any mention of it throughout High School
I dream of the day some zoomer guillotines me as a conservative and then dabs on my body or whatever
Fortnite dances on me after my decapitation as I was last vestige of the now obsolete state which has finally been dissolved to establish full communism
Fuck that dox her. Mcarthyism fucks wwith teachers. Time to cancel capitalist teachers
My economics/government teacher in highschool was the boomeriest old Fuck that ever lived. Some of my friends are still victims of his brainwashing bullshit. The greatest stain on my life is that I voted for Bush because of that fuckers brainwashing. I think even back then I realized to some degree how full of shit he was but just went with the flow. I often think about how badly I could send all my knowledge back to my highschool self and just demolish him with what I know now. Also gratz on you little brother have a based AF class.
