Walz told high schoolers communism was a system where 'everyone shares'

Kamala Harris's running mate, Tim Walz, has been sweet on socialism and even communism for pretty much all his adult life.

After all, he did describe socialism as "neighborliness." He's the guy who let his city burn.

The Washington Free Beacon's Alana Goodman did some digging and found this in an old news clipping:

As a high school teacher in the 1990s, Democratic vice presidential candidate and Minnesota governor Tim Walz appeared to extol life under Chinese communism, telling his students that it is a system in which "everyone shares" and gets free food and housing.

"It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares," Walz said during a lesson on China's communist system in November 1991. "The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing."

Walz's remarks were reported in a 1991 article in Nebraska's Alliance Times-Herald that focused on his work on student exchange programs in China. At the time, Walz was teaching social studies at a Nebraska high school.

What an infantile and ignorant view of communism. The thought of this guy teaching this to high schoolers makes the mind reel.

Except that it's not ignorant. He made trip after trip to communist China, under Mao and other leaders as a sort of Sandalista tourist and "English teacher," and if he were normal, he would have had a far more serious view about what communism is, particularly as it had been practiced in Mao's China.

Forget the sharing. Living standards are higher, and people are more free when there is private property.

That is correct, every body shares into poverty, there is never enough money.

Everyone is equally miserable................

Nope.

The guys at the top are very happy. They are well fed, well housed and have their pick of the pretty little things for what ever they desire as "amusement".

That is the reality of communism.

I taught sixth graders at my parish for 20 years. My lesson on socialism was a bit different than Totalitarian Tim:

Sally works hard in class, studies the material, which leads to her class score of 100. Billy is a slacker, barely does enough to get by, and scores a 60. He's given 20 of Sally's points to bring him up to an 80.

The responses were priceless, i.e. "that's not fair!" Always created a great discussion.

We read Animal Farm in 5th grade. We got the message.

In the 60s, California public schools were excellent. Most, if not all, of my 6th grade class tested at 12th grade reading levels.

Gen. Mike Flynn - This is really creative & seriously funny (no idea who created it), but great work.
