Not only that, but the actual definitions that they use for the terms Communism, and Socialism in today’s universities are almost the OPPOSITE of what we were taught as the official definition of these “-isms”. That is why many young liberals laugh and sneer when we mention those two words - their mis-education makes us look like idiots to them, like we have no clue what we’re talking about, when in actuality, it is them who have been taught wrongly. It’s extremely frustrating - if we can’t even get people to understand the proper definitions for the words, how can we possibly get them to understand the philosophies behind them, and competing philosophies and why they have proven to be better? They support something that isn’t even close to reality...
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I agree with your post. Almost an entire generation HAS been brainwashed. I thank God that at least I was old enough during the 80s to have witnessed the Soviet Union BEFORE it collapsed, and have friends and family who LIVED in and had to ESCAPE from the USSR. I doubt even some of the younger kids in Russia know how bad things really were just 2 short decades ago...
“Communism: we pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us.”
