“Education” in the US has edited this OUT of students’ curriculum.
Nothing about the inhumane, heinous conduct of tyrants and dictators is correctly represented (if represented AT ALL) in the sociology, geography, history, etc. that students are taught.
That means, assuming they even know who Papa Doc is or who Joe Stalin is, the story is certainly minimized or white washed. Personally, I don't think young people know anything detailed or comprehensive regarding tyranny... not even the names of the most destructive monsters who ever lived.
To make it worse, information and facts about historic leaders who did so much to oppose tyranny is also ‘manipulated’ or outright omitted. I read that 47% of young people in Great Britain thought Winston Churchill was a fictional character!! Young people know absolutely nothing about how and why we have arrived where we are politically, socially, economically, culturally, etc.
So true. Communists work with a long term plan.
