Yes this is what my Civics teacher tought me. What is really ironic is that he looks like Leon Trotsky and he loved to go on and on in class about the evils of Stalin. He thinks he is ex-CIA and talks about that alot too.

Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
“Congratulating Stalin is not a formality. Congratulating Stalin means supporting him and his cause, supporting the victory of socialism, and the way forward for mankind which he points out, it means supporting a dear friend. For the great majority of mankind today are suffering, and mankind can free itself from suffering only by the road pointed out by Stalin and with his help.” – Mao Tse Tung
We just talked about that general idea at school today. The Americans monopolized sugar and banana production in Guetamala(I think it was in the 70's, but I can't remember). With this the Guetamalans were pretty much reduced to slaves in their own country. They were producing the sugar and bananas and the Americans got all the money because of the monopoly. A Socialist government took power which the Americans automatically labeled as "Communist" and "evil". This story made me upset.

America is the Evil of the world and doesnt suprise me. The "USA" is nothing more then a backwards Capitalists society that has nothing to live for but War and fighting who ever questions it.

Sorry you are learning at the feet of Neanderthals. But your school sounds like an aberration, and whether it is or isn't, your coach and school board need to review the ideals of the National Board of Teaching Standards, which describes the accomplished social sciences teacher:
In addition to understanding a free market
economy, teachers are familiar with other
basic economic models, such as command
economies and traditional economies. They
understand the basic ideas of Marxist
economics and can compare those ideas with
what actually takes place in communist
countries. They understand the concept of
socialism and can explain the way it is mani-
fest in different nations.
Your teachers here will complain that there never has been a communist country. Never mind. Why not send the above quote to your principal, with a copy to the local newspaper, with the complaint that Coach doesn't seem to know his social sciences. Or his ass.
Better yet, why don't you challenge him in class? "But coach, what is Marxism and how exactly did the Soviet model differ? I know you know this because a) you're an accomplished teacher; and b) the National Board of Teaching Standards says you therefore must know this?"
Oh, and good luck with him in gym class that afternoon.
He blabs on going on about the gulags and how Stalin and Hitler were bedfellows. I asked him if he was Trotsky's nephew or something once and he went batshit insane.

The USA, and your home state of Texas particularly, produced ZZ Top, Dell Computers, Sissy Spacek, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughan, them Cowboys, Aggie jokes, and fried ice cream from the "GREAT STATE FAIR, AT TEXASSSSSSSS." Thanks to you Texans for all of the above.
There's more to the USA than bullshit politics, as you know. Take a bow.
I know this is going to make me sound hardcore, but my mom bought the Manifesto for me when I was 12.
Of course when I read "bourgeois" I pronounced it as "boorgus".
Also, in the 3rd and 7th grade I had the same teacher for a class. She had us read some story about a world where everyone is dragged down to the intellectual, and physical level of the lowest person in society. She then enlightened us saying "this is what Communism is".
Then the man is a complete lunitic and should just be avoided.

I can't find the stroy online. It has something to do with some really strong smart guy and a ballerina who rebel or some crap.
You guys learn about "Communism" that young? It wasn't even mentioned to me until like 11th grade. I didn't even really know what it was before then.
Wow, just wow! Was there a reason your mom bought you the Manifesto at age 12?

Yep. Born in the Polish Peoples Republic and came here seeing the Capitalist propaganda about this place at the last second. We make jokes on the US all the time and have a few laughs.

Wish my parents were like that. I can guarantee that if I ever have children of my own I will hand them the Communist Manifesto as soon as they are able to read.
Just because they have to know how the system works does not mean they have to teach it that way. Also, here in the USA each state has a different education system, so unless those rules were from the Texas board of administration I don't see how they could apply to our teachers.Sorry you are learning at the feet of Neanderthals.

I have challenged him in class, as seen in this thread:
http://www.revleft.com/vb/american-p....html?t=100914
He's really good at turning things around on me in class. I have tried talking to him outside of class and he still doesn't back down from his position. There is no doubt in my mind that he solidly beleives everything he is teaching to us.
OH I REMEMBER THAT ONE!!!! We read it last year!! They actually said "that is what socialism is" at the end, and had us write an essay about how bad socialists have it in Canada and elsewhere. I'll try and look it up in my brother's english book as he is now in the class I read that in.
Christianity according to NoXion
"The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree."
GU's rule: "As a RevLeft discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Stalin approaches 1."
Me too comrade. I will also be warning them about Capitalist propaganda.Wish my parents were like that. I can guarantee that if I ever have children of my own I will hand them the Communist Manifesto as soon as they are able to read.
