After 2 months of studying, 20/26 students in the class anonymously chose communism over capitalism on the last week before Christmas break. Teacher thought she was subtly upset (apparently wasn’t subtle) and had the class redo the poll after their final exam on the subject to see if they “learned anything since then”
22/26 students chose communism in the second poll.
I know it isn’t much but dammit it made me feel good
For context this is in NYC
amazed the teacher gave them the opportunity to actually learn about communism instead of just saying “gommunibm no food” over and over
Funny enough most of the work was independent research from home.
Really makes you think

Hopefully they bully the four nerds that stuck with capitalism.

I recently realized my history teacher from high school was probably a communist, she described the soviet gov as improving ppl’s standard of living and we talked a lot about the Russian struggle against the nazis, (I live in France btw) and now I realized this associated communism with positive images early
Haha, in my government class we were being taught different systems of government. There was like, confederation/federation/unitary, capitalism/socialism/communism, democratic/oligarchic/dictatorial or something like that. Obviously government systems aren’t decided in a vacuum, and for a high school class the whole curriculum was a joke, but the class voted for democratic communism and the teacher got mad and said we voted for North Korea lol.
When I was doing online school for a year and a half, we were taught about the Cuban missile crisis. We actually learned about the American aggression in Turkey that led up to it as well as the roles of JFK and Khrushchev. They had us vote on who did more to prevent war and the majority said Khrushchev did.
