    They just do that in order to teach how bad communism really is.
    That was LITERALLY my experience in college.

    Generations have been taught this. Communism is inherently good so a few million (100 million) broken eggs to make a tasteless omelette can be forgiven

    But the Nazis were racist. So no hope for them.

    Nobody taught us communism was good. At any level. What are you talking about?
    True.

    It's the teachers and profs in the here and now doing so.
    Three kids, the youngest of whom graduated from college on Sunday. Never heard of one instructor praising communism. You must be sending your kids to some pretty bad schools.
    And your word is worth so much
    My kids would have told me if it had ever happened, even if only to provoke my old man rant. Your old man rant concerns pro-Communist instruction you imagine is happening everywhere, all the time, throughout the nation. I'm sure there are a couple anecdotal examples.
    Gets shown by facts that He's full of shit and then brings his kids back into it with the old, "I'm sure they would have told me if they were learning about Communism and it was being normalized"

    You are not the cool Dad.

    Your kids don't tell you shit.
    Not cool, but educated.

    Facts? It's not exactly news that the Communist Manifesto is read by college students. That's been true for decades. It would be very strange to study Modern European history without reading something by Marx or by Marx and Engles. Perhaps it wasn't as relevant in your Ag curriculum.

    The new Hondo of the Tug shouldn't be touting your education given your track record of being wrong about 81% of the time. But you live in your world. We'll press on with reality.

    Imagine being terrified of a book...

    It's not the book. It's the ideologies that are promoted and rejected on today's campus' without room for debate.

    That's the scary part.

    I mean, he’s bragged how his family discussed abortion policy as they were shoving turkey into their faces on Thanksgiving years ago. Based on one of them just graduating from college, it seems HHutzky was indoctrinating his children while they were at a young age. Yet no university professors promote socialism, communism, and other liberal beliefs because Lionel’s 3 kids never mentioned it.

    Embarrassing is thinking that reading or assigning students some Marx is indicative of a student or teacher's politics. Sorry to break this to you, but Darwin, Marx and Freud are subjects of study in modern history, economics, even business. (Except maybe at Evergreen in the mid-70s.)

    Sounds like you can't context for shit. I'm talking about now not 30 years ago.

    Maybe you should petition Twitter to take you back.

    Pretty sure Goose and Boobs are more your speed this week.

    I think you need to see one go in the hole to get some confidence back.

    Ok, as a CURRENT student, I would like to weigh in and say that it was made pretty clear that communism has never worked and will never work.

    The teachers didn't explicitly say that, but they didn't need to - all sources assigned to us in class, even our materials on/about the manifesto, made clear the failures of totalitarian government.

    Fact of the matter is, NO MATTER THE SYSTEM, absolute power corrupts. Communism could be the most effective system the world has ever seen and it still wouldn't work for that exact reason.

    And, communism is not the most effective system the world has ever seen, and is in reality far from it based on what we have seen in its application.

    You can debate the merits of communism all you want (there really aren't any), and it still doesn't change the fact that it will never work.

    And this is what was taught in a very liberal school. You can imagine how it is in most schools across America. I don't think this is a big concern.

    @ClaraSorrentiDawg can EMFA.

    Sorry, I’m going to trust the feelings of some old guys that went to school before you were born when it comes to today’s college curriculum.

    Did they tell you the same thing about Socialism?

    Still clinging to that one link?

    *gurgle*

    This subject always hits a nerve because it's so fucking obvious

    And I'm guided by science on it

    How did we end up with Bernie, AOC and the democratic socialist party with widespread student support?

    Because it's a horrible system?

    Doesn't compute

    By my count, you provided three links, two of which work.

    One third of your links represent this YUGE scandal that college students sometimes read the Communist Manifesto.

    One third of your links reveal the existence of an actual pro-Communist (or, at least, anti-Capitalist) in the UW English Department.

    One third of your links don't open.

    Your evidence that Pro-Communist indoctrination is routinely taking place in all of our schools is a bit thin, though it is shrill and hysterical, so there's that.

    And there aren't hundreds more

    Maybe your students can teach you how to use a search engine
