We teach nothing about the Soviet Union. None of these kids have any idea about what went on there.

When I was 16 I went to Leningrad and Moscow and saw the living standards of my teen counterparts. It was eye-opening, and at 16 I knew right then and there that communism was evil, enslaved citizens, and was completely destructive.

It is my belief that the lack of education provided about the poor living standards, murder, slavery, and eventual collapse of the USSR is completely intentional.

You are absolutely correct. Since the Berlin Wall fell we have an entire generation of voters out there who remember NOTHING of the Cold War or why Communism was a bad idea we resisted so fiercely.
