A little behind the times

So Much for Political Freedom

It was early March when a representative from the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Special Investigations sat down with Jill Bloomberg, the longtime principal of Park Slope Collegiate in Brooklyn, a combined middle and high school, to inform her that she was under investigation.

The representative told Ms. Bloomberg that she could not tell her the nature of any allegations, nor who had made them, but said that she would need to interview Ms. Bloomberg’s staff.

Then one of her assistant principals, who had met with an investigator, revealed to her exactly what the allegation was, one that seemed a throwback to another era: Communist organizing.

“I think I just said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. This is something O.S.I. investigates?’” Ms. Bloomberg said, using an abbreviation for the Office of Special Investigations. “I mean, what decade are we living in?”

  
The one where Americans finally lose their tenuous hold on sanity.

Make American Great Again.

Castro Is Dead and Communism/Socialism Doesn't Work

And poor people in America are poor because of their own lack of ambition and desire to get a free handout and it has nothing to do with the capitalist economy.

The Future

[According to a survey conducted by Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation] 80 percent of baby boomers and 91 percent of elderly Americans believe that communism was and still is a problem in the world today, while just 55 percent of millennials say the same.

[...]

The survey was conducted among 2,300 people, with a margin of error of 2.8 percent and a 95 percent level of confidence.

[...]

Just 37 percent of millennials had a “very unfavorable” view of communism, compared to 57 percent of Americans overall. Close to half (45 percent) of Americans aged 16 to 20 said they would vote for a socialist, and 21 percent would vote for a communist.

[...]

When asked their opinion of capitalism, 64 percent of Americans over the age of 65 said they viewed it favorably, compared to just 42 percent of millennials.

Could it be because they can look around them and see what capitalism has brought to the world? 

This is another reminder to me of what I thought at the time the Soviet Union fell apart. People were cheering the fall of communism, as if that was the only place on earth that communism is practiced. At any rate, when an American would boast about the triumph of capitalism over communism and claim that Marx was proved wrong in saying capitalism would collapse, all I could think was: you just haven't waited long enough. Give it time.
The survey also revealed a general lack of historical knowledge, especially among young adults. According to the report, one-third (32 percent) of millennials believed that more people were killed under George W. Bush than under Joseph Stalin.

When millennial respondents were asked about their familiarity with various historical communist figures, 42 percent were unfamiliar with Mao Zedong, 40 percent with Che Guevara, and 33 percent with Vladimir Lenin—three notorious figures in communist regimes. Among millennials familiar with Lenin, 25 percent viewed him favorably.

“It is because of such widespread ignorance about communism that we formed the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which is dedicated to telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” said Lee Edwards, [...]
"The truth."
[...] Lee Edwards, a distinguished fellow in conservative thought at The Heritage Foundation and co-founder of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, an organization that seeks to “memorialize, educate, and document the grim history of communism around the world.”

How Many People Still Believe Russia Is Communist?

Especially when an MSNBC national journalist hasn't figured it out.




What's stunning, Joy, is that you think Russia is a Communist country.

And I don't think the old American Communist party is jealous of Trump.  Nor any current Communist party.  They have nothing in common.

It would appear that Joy doesn't know what communism is.  Let's hope "most Americans" have a better grasp.
