Th best way to keep kids off communism is to neuter rampant capitalism.

Fascist motherfuckers.

Best way to promote communism is to keep calling for it to be banned and persecuted.

Any kid automatically knows that anything adults ban is something kids want to know about just to piss everyone off.

If many kids didn't know about communism, they do now.

The streisand effect is a beautiful thing.

"Unlike those brainwashing communists, we don't indoctrinate our kids to tow the party line"

Bruh, the white house literally has a foreign agent taking office on Jan 20.

- Even if by literally you really mean figuratively, that’s still a hyperbolic thing to say[1]. Trump is as American as apple pie and oligarchy[1][2].

  Agent means paid employ. It's not a stretch for Trump; Russia and SA alone kinda seal the deal.
  
  Keep in mind Biden and Trump fit this with Israel kickbacks. Every sitting politician that has accepted funds from AIPAC is currently a foreign agent.

High School history gets altered again. It's not like it was accurate before. Universities are still the access to history obscured by government.

History has always been pay to know. Real history isn't taught is high school, only an agenda. Govt keeps a tight leash on this for a reason; it doesn't make them look good.

I'm more surprised there were ~50 republicans voting no/abstaining

I feel like the whole outright luring about things that happened under communism combined with not really explaining what communism is has worked insanely well, I don’t know why you’d attempt to change that now. Unless the number of self identified communists in the USA has been fudged and there’s way more than I think there is, this is pretty much a non issue that’s already been dealt with for the capitalists.
