The U.S. House just passed the Crucial Communism Teaching Act, a bill that claims to educate students on the 'dangers of communism' but is rooted in misinformation and fear-mongering. #politics #Re...
public education in the capitalist west has never been anything else other than a means of indoctrination. that they feel the need to pass something like this now just means that they feel they are losing control over the narrative.
I want to agree with you, but I can’t shake the feeling that’s just cope. They never lost control over their narrative around eeevil communism. Just walk around and ask anyone on the street what communism even is. Look at how many even supposed radical leftists will still call anyone who knows a bit about history and geopolitics a “tankie.” They are losing the narrative on things like “actually Israel is defending itself” when there’s constant and endless videos of genocide happening in all its gory reality for anyone to see. It’s good that at least that they can’t completely control the narrative on, and it might be part of the reasoning behind this bill. But lying about the visible genocide in Gaza is a bit different than lying about history that can’t be seen as videos on social media and lying about geopolitics that are more complicated than images of murdered children. We’re in a new cold war that is only going to ramp up and this is the ideological conditioning they’ll be installing in the young population to help ensure they’ll be on board. As we know, propaganda works. You think it’s frustrating trying to reason with libs right now about the Uyghur “genocide,” the uphill battle of debunking those brainworms? Wait until that shit is basic curriculum and as common knowledge as “Stalin was a murderous dictator” is now.

This is true, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get worse or that it can’t get modernized.
