“The history of Communism” curriculum will just be
Gommulism killed 10000 gorillion people, no food, no innovation, no freedom.
And that’s it.
Yeah Im more offended over America’s blatant omission of history rather than the complete fabrication of it.
Shit like the 8 hour work day, the fact that the children are even inside a classroom learning this drivel instead of working at the daw mill or slaughterhouse, desegregation and civil rights. These things didn’t magically happen or even organically happened. Communists, socialists, anarchists, and hell even some liberals fought, killed, and died for this shit. Not just on the streets against cops and your neighborhood racist, but in the mountains and fields with machine guns against American soldiers as well. The US was scared shitless of the USSR because so much of the country was suffering that their possible sympathies with communism was a national security concern.
how exactly do they think this is going to play out?
Teacher: Communism is bad because Stalin killed people.
Student: So all Stalin had to do was not kill people and communism would have worked?
Teacher: No, the ideology made Stalin kill people.
Student: So Stalin did not have free will?
Teacher: No, free will exists, don’t be a dirty Calvinist, Stalin was willingly following Marx’s ideology to the letter.
Student: So how did the ideology create the regularly recurring famines that happened for centuries until the 50s, cause the kulaks to burn their own food, or the Western powers to sanction the USSR before the USSR had done anything wrong? What part of Marx’s writings caused this?
Teacher: I’m legally required to report all dissenters to the Department of Freedom.
It would have been great to learn about communism since kindergarden, but most of my teachers were libs at best, so no thanks.
My Westoid school decided it would be a good idea to have us read Animal Farm in English class before we had learned about the Russian Revolution in History class.
Cue an exasperated English teacher trying to explain to a class of confused middle schoolers how the pig is obviously Trotsky or Stalin.
I remember reading Animal Farm and not getting it at all. I remember thinking the book was kinda dumb. I probably would have thought that given the right contenxt, just for new reasons though lol.
I had to read it at about 13 in English, and I got it was about communism and the pigs were lenin and stalin but I only had really vague knowledge of the soviet union, so I thought the ending was about the dissolution of the ussr
We definitely watched the 1999 live action Animal Farm, I honestly remember very little about the whole book/movie.
Edit: Aw fuck I forgot that Jim Henson’s Creature Shop worked on that movie.
i did the same but our teacher didnt even bother to explain that it was about the russian revolution so we all thought it was just about some pigs being mean and stuff
we got an explanation when my class read it but for some reason the interpretation was basically lenin = good and stalin betrayed the revolution.
i think our teacher was a trot
pretty sure it is. blair was still nominally a “socialist” even if a total POS
even in my most anti-communist youth there was always a seed of “what-if” lenin didn’t die would the communist project have succeeded. i just thought it was a historical one-shot that never could be repeated
fucking great man theory BS
This is kinda funny, in my high school the whole class came to the unanimous conclusion that Animal Farm was about the American revolution. The pigs were the rich whites and the other animals were the slaves and poor.
This history lesson brought to you by PragerU.
yeah i thought this is actually what they are doing
no lessons just watch a bunch of youtube
I haven’t read much on it but the fact that FL is even allowing Prager to create their elementary school curriculum is dystopian AF.
it is but on the plus side the students will probably completely check out from that Corporate Memphis bullshit
it’s as painful as watching HR mandated videos at work
