The american education system is hilarious. We're learning about world religions and I was handed this

It doesn't even end there. in English I remember reading this short story where there was a society where everyone had to wear masks if their vision was too good, or break their fingers if they were too accurate or some retarded shit like that.
everything in our education basically strawmaned communism. then I started actually writing essays about that shit and doing research and figured out what it actually fucking was.

I feel sorry for you. What classes should I avoid like the plague?

If you are a highschool student at a public school odds are that was made by a shill org "think tank" like the Heritage Foundation.

the best is when the bourgeois american education system appropriates Orwell's left critique of stalinism

I kinda think that how it works for me. I live in New York's most segregated city, so we have a lot of Jew/Irish upper class paying high taxes so our education isn't shit. I think as a result the white Soccer moms get a lot of free PTA power so they get the educated Dads to dump all these garbage standards on us. luckily I still managed to squeeze an IB diploma out of them.

the sad thing is we didn't even read Orwell. or Huxley, just Ayn Rand. had to read all that important, actually relevant shit myself.

You read "Harrison Bergeron". Which is hilarious if they used it as a strawman for communism, because it was written by a socialist satirizing what liberals and conservatives thought socialism was.

they never directly said "communism" but "equality". I noticed they also referred to "marxism" as "equality" too.

Yupp. The Giver, Animal Farm, 1984, Animal Farm,
Farenheit 451, Brave New World.

Im just getting my core 40 rn at some charter school it was just some combine English social studies class

Fahrenheit 451 dosnt strawman communism, it strawmans something close to the current state of affairs in the US, if you want o call that communism then….

Yeah you're kind of right. That's more of the

I just looked up Juche Religion on youtube im not disappointed
youtube.com/watch?v=pBGnoskP3MY
youtube.com/watch?v=b_iXkMa2hQw

I couldn't even watch for two seconds. Has that bitch never heard of a pop filter?

451 would never happen because there's no way in hell the insane expectations propaganda sets for us can happen in reality

The only one I could enjoy out of those were Animal Farm and 1984. And Animal Farm less because I feel like allegories about specific people and history only detract from the quality of a story. So maybe only really 1984 because the story and characters were decent. I can't stand Brave New World at all. Aldous Huxely's writing style is trash.

I don't know whats better
or

451 was Bradbury complaining that people were watching TV instead of reading books.
I wish I was joking.

True. and he's right, just look at all the retarded boomer posting on YouTube and the popularity of prageru

It's crazy that we let people who preach disorder and deceit such as you keep their tongues.

SORRY JEWS, BUT JUCHE GANG IS STRONGER

t. uneducated retard

Lenin never wrote a refutation of anything post-modern or post-structuralist because he died way before any of that shit was actually a thing.

I don't know why but this book was such a slog to read through. I also found it weird that the book promoted individuality and freedom of destiny while simultaneously shitting on polygamy and kids masturbating.

This. It sounds edgy when you say it, but ever since documentaries and bite-sized propaganda videos took flight, the prevalence of shitty ideas has only increased. PragerU is successful because they have found the holy grail of indoctrinating idiots.

fucking lol
now i recall when i was a high school student and the textbooks told us that communism is just "authoritarian socialism" and france was socialist (or something along those lines)
and we completely glossed over anything bad the US did ever
barring trying to suppress the civil rights movement, but we only mentioned MLK and none of the other people or groups like the BPP or Malcolm X
american schools or a joke

Lamo BNW isn't inherently anti-anything, it was more a vision of how Huxley saw society heading to in the West. In a weird way, it is a kind of liberal dystopia where everyone is happy because they have hedonism and a role in society. They have great freedom, but only because they cannot articulate their in-freedom.

Tbh as a Brit, I'm glad we didn't: for GCSE we got taught about the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.
Also one of the funniest moments I've ever seen was during the 2017 election where a chav (he's a nice bloke, but still a chav) said "I dunno know who to vote for, but man we should get the Cuban healthcare system because that shit's sick": it's because we'd done cross-analysis of healthcare systems in geography for GCSE and A-Level.

am i in the wrong here since nobody pointed it out yet or what's going on with that

That's capitalism

The best part about it is if you try to get rid of all the dumb shit then people think that it's true and you are the EVIL ELITE trying to GET RID OF THE TRUTH.

Yeah it's a shit book. Had the same experience despite it being so light and short. I think that's the only one on the list I didn't finish and ended up spark noting.
You're entirely missing all the nightmarish vision of social planning.

It's primarily just a shittily written sci fi though.

Messed up the reply

How is it living in a paranoid schizophrenic reality daily? At least you're not alone christcuck.

I always read it as a critique of capitalist society. Because the years and a lot of traditions in the book is based on Henry Ford. Also its a strict class society in that the classes are genetically engineered for pre-defined caste type roles. Also, since Huxley was part of the Fabian society I'm not entirely sure if its about the Soviet Union - which I feel writers on the book attributed later (with the cliffnotes link a good example). Also, I can't find anything that states Huxley wrote the book about the Soviet Union except for people that attribute that meaning to it. But idk - if anyone can find any quotes from Huxley that'd be appreciated.

Yeah, we prolly do need to get rid of "all the dumb shit" lol

Read Island, Huxley's vision of a perfect society was a Kropotkin/Georgist society in which everyone did shrooms, meditated, and had sex all day while experimenting with other new Hallucinogens they created. He was a utopian and more of an anarkiddie.

You're just being pedantic. If we're talking about the prevalence of certain religions, then "nonreligious" absolutely merits its own category.

Is the Island a good read though? I liked BNW but if it's some anarchokiddy utopia book idk.

this is basically every commune in America during the 60s and 70s and in Germany during the 80s
