Need Information

[RedAnarchist]

At my college, outside a Politics classroom, there is a chart with the political spectrum. Its your usual Western capitalist rubbish, with liberal democracy being the most democratic and all. Its in the horseshoe shape, and they even claim that extreme-left communism is xenophobic! So i need some information that disputes what this chart says, so that the students who go into those classrooms aren't brainwashed into thinking that communism is bad and undemocratic.

Anyone know of any good information i can use?

Well if I was you, when no one is looking just tear the fucking thing down and chuck it somewhere!

Either that or graffiti over it with the TRUTH!

I've just printed out a load of qoutes and blu-tacked it next to the chart. I'm going to return there when theres a class next and see how they react to it.

Tell your friends and classmates to read Lenin's State and Revolution--- the theories in that book are standard left-libertarian not left-authoritarian. Lenin did not use the theories in that book into practice in the USSR--- that is why the USSR government was oppressive to its people.

Why not challenge the school on it? There's plenty of leftist material and evidence to refute what it says. And if you made your dispute public and won, many of the students would witness a leftist victory (albeit on a very small scale :P ).

It's posters like this which drive people away from the left, so we need to challenge them and get them removed, but not privately or illegaly. Publicly and proudly, even if you lost at least you wouldn't be punished (and then you could resort to grafiti or tearing it down).

Cheeses... Is it really that bad in America? Hell, one of my own teachers in the school said she was a socialist... openly too! Heh, print out a paper with the question "Who was Karl Marx?" and put it up next to the board, let students who are interested in it seek out the truth for themselves.

I don't know what university this is at, but at the two I've attended everyone there was pretty left leaning.

Most college students these days are social democrats or "reform communist" at best.
