feels good knowing the only reason why communism is so heavily shat on by right wingers and liberals is because they have no idea what it actually means.
Growing up (10 years ago) at Freedom highschool in florida I was taught communism is when you have to share your things with everyone, doctors and janitors are paid the same, and the government picks your jobs for you. I shit you not I had a highschool history teacher do an activity with us where he split us into teams and made us cut out cars from paper. then at the end he said "Okay the team that made the most cars is getting a C just like the team that made the least cars, thats why communism doesn't work… you don't get rewarded for how hard you work everyone gets paid the same.. see why communism doesn't work?" and "human nature, communism fails because people are greedy and someone always rises to the top and owns most of the stuff and it leads to evil hegemonic figures who just want more" (completely ignoring that this is exactly what happens with monopolies and walmartz in capitalism)
They un-ironically use the definition of feudalism to describe communism to children.
a year later i had another history teacher with a giant don't tread on me flag on his wall. Dude was fat as fuck, the ugliest person you've ever seen, and played everquest nonstop.
these are the pieces of shit teaching our children about important topics like communism (the only thing that will save the human race in the long run).
I had a literal Ayn Rand shilling econ teacher who honest to god believed that Libertarianism was the type of government in God's Kingdom and that humans needed to emulate that shit. Though I honestly didn't stay in that class much, I usually skipped to hang out with my friend/gf to be in the library and only showed up for the tests and only put the most dogmatically capitalist answers and literally got an A+ in the class.
Another class I had was a WV history class where we were talking about the Battle of Blair Mountain where they compared the Union people fighting the Company Men to Al-Qaeda fighting the US Government and said that the US bombing the union workers with the airforce was justified.
The rest was the usual falsification of history and omission of socialists and communists from good world events and teaching us that the USSR was Satan incarnate, often literally saying that Stalin was the antichrist.

was this a rural west virginia public school?
Adam Nguyen
I don't think there is any such thing as an urban West Virginian school, but yes. It's a sorry state of affairs really. I had a friend who had an honest to god snake cultist as a gym teacher.
So 1st despite under communist regimes everyone had a job and a house but was a one party rule with heavy oppresion(good critic tbh) 2nd the final stage of capitalism is imperialism and the opposite is communism , where the state owns everything
That's never happened to me even though I'm in the US. In school they never really talked about any "communist" country. In fact they said it was the Soviets that beat the Nazis but they downplayed it as result of the unanticipated weather though. My government class never talked about it at all and one teacher was reading a book about the Black Panthers.

Around here it's generally the old platitude of "communism would be the perfect system if it worked" and muh Stasi and bananas.
People are spooked by the word communism, but you tell them about it without using its name and they love it. Still, it's meaning as an insult has died because it has been used every five seconds against Corbyn (There was a point where he was accused of literally being a communist spy) so there's that. Also at-least socialism has a meaning again: people associate it with coops, demarketisation of industries and shit rather than "just the state doing stuff" so that's nice. Also in school, we basically got taught fuck-all about communist states, mostly the Nazis since it was like the last time we did anything good for the world (the last time we did anything good for ourselves [in our eyes] was the Falklands), so yeah "Hitler bad we fucked Hitler" is about it. As for teaching about british history, for a-level we got taught about the trade union movement in its early stages but apart from that a lot of stuff is forgotten. Oh also here is a funtitbit for y'all. So every year there is something called the Durham miners' gala. It is an old meeting of all the mining trade union branches and it still goes on as basically a socialist and brass band festival. So all the old unions rock-up, some new ones too. And they bring their banners. At the end of the big parade through Durham, they bring them to the cathedral to be blessed by the bishop of Durham. You see some of these unions were basically communist, and some of the new banners have pretty damn communist things on them. Including one I saw with: Keir Hardie, James Connolly, A.J. Cook, George Isaac Harvey and VLADIMIR LENIN. Yes, there is a banner of Vladimir Lenin blessed by a bishop of the Church of England in Durham. I love this country sometimes.

Pretty much, as I've said before instead of SJWs poisoning the leftist well we have nazbols wanking to how stronk Russia was under Stalin while completely ignoring the whole Marxist part

I’m gonna shit in your mouth and you will call me master, baby. The texture of my loge embedding itself on your air way walls. The stench coming through your nose canals. Your olfactory receptors will be surrounded by my putid, yet delicous stench of manly greasy surrounding that log, protecting it from nature. But it doesn’t need that. It has your stomach. The sensations will overcome you. Your eyes will roll back into your head and you will ‘scream tummy funny tummy funny’ you will scream but nothing will come out. Your vocal chords unuseable with the after shit stomach acid. You will scream in pain but nobody will hear it. Just my asshole and you. My asshairs will give you a sensation in your nose. A sensation you only could have asked for. Almost too good for such a good slave.
just a few weeks ago I was sitting in on an American history class on the beginning of the cold war. the 'professor' literally said that Stalin was an evil evil evil evil evil man that wanted to rule the world with communism, that he couldn't expand into Europe because the glorious us was stopping them, and that mao only beat kai shek because of Stalin, who also killed over 70 million Russians. it was painful

I'll never understand how these people can be so fucking close, yet so far.
This is not exactly propaganda but rather its effects. The other day at my bar we had a bunch of old redneck boomers eating, I happened to walk past their table to hear some conversation about how "the commies" are literally everywhere, apparently, lurking in every shadow, just about to take over. I started to laugh & had to hit the bathroom, but man, I wanted so badly to just lean in reeeeeaaaaally close to this crusty old idiot and whisper "yeah, we are".

No more money, people get paid according to work done. In other words, people draw from the social stock the means of consumption that is in accordance with how much work they have performed.

You're gonna need to simplify the wording there, famrade.

anyone willing to work has access to everything they need, not want, but NEED. useless anti-jobs like "stock broker" will no longer exist.

Exchange is a necessary constant in the global civilization we live in
Isaiah Richardson
Read some marx, production for exchange is not the same as mining gold in bali and cutting wood in norway and making wood-golden jewellery out of it for both nations.
Mason Davis
production for exchange will still be necessary, autarky is not feasible in many areas of the globe and only through exchange can a decent standard of living be accomplished, it will be more muted in a gommie society, obviously, but still necessary
Connor Walker
Read Cockshott and Marx. During the transitional period, what Marx called the dictatorship of the proletariat, exchange will still exist. However, as the revolution quickly sweeps across the globe, there will be a transition to lower stage communism. Then production for use will occur. Cockshott lays out how this is possible in his videos and books.
William Jones
wrong Again, shipping stuff around is not production for exchange, self sustainability is a retarded meme

UNAPOLOGETIC AUTHORITARIAN DYSTOPIAS ARE GOOD. HOW ARE PATHETIC RIGHT-WING LIBERAL FAGGOT NIGGER TEACHERS GOING TO ARGUE AGAINST THAT? LET'S SEE THEM ARGUE DOWN THE BARREL OF A EURASIAN GUN! MADE BY NAZBOL GANG.

I mean, apart from the usual "ussr did more death than hitler !", "holodomor is real !", and "people in ussr starved / ussr was third world living standard" that permeates from culture to what people think of ussr, there was recently a big disappointment from me. Frenchman here btw, and I was watching a humorist show taking place in 50s france secret agency (kinda like oss117), "Au service de la France". they're pretty good at pointing out the imperialism/sexism/racism of france during that time, and pretty funny too. Americans (well, cia) are depicted as totally paranoiac about communists (mostly true tbh). But then there's that episode in ussr, where basically everything in cars / apartment is old and broken (stuff like closing the window to turn on the light), everything is illogical (government stores don't allow to sell matched pair of shoes cause that would be capitalist thinking ! comfort is bad cause it profit to individual and not community !), and they literally depict a fucking BARTER economy in STATE STORES. I mean fuck, you can joke about secret police, authoritarianism, putting community above individual, even the trope of broken equipment is kinda funny, but the barter and shoes part is just ridiculously bonker. They basically depict communist society as dysfunctional, incapable of rational thought and paranoiac about capitalism, which is quite a step further from laughing about individual stupidity / casual racism / administrative weight that they do to france, and straight paranoia of cia. And it straight up deny that ussr was the second world superpower with a quite good quality of life… fucking mad because it is still a pretty good show, but that was so obvious anticommunist propaganda

Imagine what else they're failing to teach correctly
John Bell
I have a quite a few examples, being in "the belly of the beast" and all. My grandpa is a Keynesian sorta guy since he grew up during the Roosevelt era. Also his dad was pretty progressive and worked for the ACLU in the 30s. Buy anyway, he essentially came up with this pretty based theory that giving people too much power will cause them to act too much in their own interest, but as soon as I told him I was interested in socialism(outside of sucdem) he went on about "muh human nature" as expected and thought that all Marxism was authoritarian. Of course my school was no better. When I did Academic Sports and we were learning about ww2-era history the dude who was usually my math teacher said that Hitler was "an evil genius" and that Stalin killed more of his own people than Hitler ever could. Also during my 7th grade Social Studies class where I first started to learn about Cold War history the teacher used the "on paper" argument. So pretty typical for this part of the world I guess.
