Why should anyone be surprised..what with the fascism of forced car insurance, banned foods, the anti-smoking nazis,, and all of the other neat stuff that is, in reality, communism with a smiling face

there’s probably some common ground on this one.

Considering the fact that two Marxists are battling it out for the Democratic nomination, this isn’t really shocking.

If this type of propaganda bullsh*t were mandated to be taught in MY school district’s classrooms, there would be HELL to pay! I would not “go quietly into that good night” as most of the liberal “sheeple” tend to do. I would pull up my bootstraps and FIGHT to prevent this abomination from taking hold and completing the transition of our schools into full re-education camps...

Narses: This may be of interest to the members of the Catholic ping list? Atheistic communism has never been a friend to any religion.

I have a question for “good” teachers ( Christian and non-Christian).

Where is the line?

At what point are government schools sooooo evil that working in one is impossible?

At what point are government schools so evil that to continue to be a “good” teacher and not an evil one will mean abandoning the government school and working to open private schools?

At what point will government schools be so evil that “good” teachers will join with others to organize a MASSIVE school tax revolt that will shut these indoctrination camps down permanently?

I honestly think that for too many “good” teachers there is no line.

Honestly, I think that too many “good” teachers ( Christian and non-Christian) would work for the SS brown shirts in exchange for a pay check and pension. Too many would bow down and worship Moloch if a principal asked them to do it.

And,,,government teachers expect the rest of us to respect them?

Actually, Communism is a great idea... as long as you don't mind denying human emotional drives, vastly decreasing productivity, and giving the responsibility for "fair" distribution to someone else.

Really, Communism does work, every day, even in this country... but only at the family level. One or two productive people share their resources so that everyone gets approximately the same benefits, and so that everyone's needs are met as well as they can be. They do it out of love.

However, when you try to use the force of government to force every citizen to show as much love for some ne'er-do-well 1000 miles away as they do for their own child, well, you're going to run into trouble. Then, when you turn over the entire resources of a nation to a central authority, the opportunity for massive displays of favoritism and corruption (and worse, usually) is inescapable.

But otherwise, it's a really, really nice idea! We should all share and play nice and want to help everyone get their needs met! Unfortunately for the Utopia-minded, in practice on larger scales, it's an abysmal failure, and will always be... unless you change human nature itself, including love, pride, self-interest, and that pesky little "power-corrupts" thing.

What, like they haven’t been doing this for about 30 years now?

I thought it was illegal to advocate the overthrow of the US government. Of course, if the commie politicians overthrow the republican form of democracy this country has enjoyed for many years, there will have to be a counter-revolution to restore it.
