And why the **** are they ignorant? Could it be that they spent twelve years never being taught a ******* thing about what it REALLY meant to be a Nazi, and what it REALLY means to be an American, and whwen it comes to be an American, Hitler ain't it, Stalin ain't it, Mao ain't it, Che ain't it, Sanger ain't it, Greta ain't it?
My undergrad degree is a BA in History, and my education basically spanned the 1970s and 80s. From an early age, whenever I was able to take an elective, I took extra history classes. I always had teachers (Jr High Sch up through college) who wanted to talk about Marxism. Some of them did not like Marxism and wanted to teach about it as a dangerous thing that was un-American. Most of them liked Marxism a lot and wanted to teach about it because it would lead us all to a glorious future.
But the point is that I was taught about Marxism. Repeatedly. Good stuff, bad stuff. I was no stranger the politics of communism.
Fascism? Whole different thing. Never taught by anyone. No electives on that topic. It was bad, OK? They killed Jews, alright? Evil people. And that’s it. We’re done. You don’t need to understand what it looked like, the economics, the social movement, the view of history, the specifics of their crazy racial ideas. The only thing to know was: It was bad.
Consequently, almost no one knows Fascism even when it’s staring them in the face and saying, “No joke.”
This is another example of leftism ruining everything.
