Him being stuck about 50 years in the past on the perceived threat of Communism is on point when looking at the rest of his agenda.
Considering how many repubs are sucking russias dick and putin is the guy who wants to bring back the ussr… it’s surprising he is talking shit about communism…when his entire party is sucking putins communist dick
Communism and Dictatorship are opposites and not compatible at all. Communism, by definition, demands the “withering away of the state”. Putin is just a right wing dictator. He envisions himself as Russia’s literal Tzar, right down to using the crest on his massive estate compound. He has no interest in communism in either name or form.
No shit. That was the point. They’re all about how bad communism is, but are in bed with a guy who wants to bring the ussr back together. Communism doesn’t work because it turns always into a authoritarian society. The joke was that the repubs are in bed with a state that was all about communism back in putins day.
I agree that they public schools should teach the history and dangers of communism. And the history and dangers of capitalism. And the history and danger of monarchies. And the history and dangers of democracy (and republics). And especially the history and dangers of fascism.
Those are all important subjects to teach, and there is not a governmental or economic system in current or previous existence that wasn’t vulnerable to corruption, inefficiency, or evil in some way. An educated populous is the way to mitigate those vulnerabilities.
Just teach the dangers of authoritarianism in general - but you see that would paint too close an image of the current republican party.
Oh yay, jingoist lies and propaganda are making a comeback.
I’m sure they’ll remember to accurately point out how every government that has ever claimed to be communist was actually a right-wing dictatorship.
Swap out “Communism” with “Russia” and then you have something. But I don’t think that’s a door he wants to open.
yeah this is the confusing part - they’re still able to call “communism” the “bad guy”, but then somehow cozy up with russia - the “OG communists”?
Choosing what Religions are real and what Students HAVE to be taught in School is called SMALL GOVERNMENT!
He might want to take note of this and start pushing for Ukraine funding!
Any educated individual should already be able to figure out the dangers of communism. If they’re not, what the hell is wrong with the american education system?
As of any of these dipshits know anything about communism.
