I’m so tired of my US History class. We’re approaching WW1, and my teacher is talking about communism. Firstly, he’s a hardcore liberal, but oh my goodness for him to teach AP, he doesn’t even SOUND like he knows what he’s talking about. His articulation and the way he talks, along with his word choice just shows he doesn’t know shit about communism.
Today he was talking about communism and I told him “communism is a moneyless, stateless, classless society.” Then he said “no, communism is where EVERYTHING is equal.” Then I proceeded to tell him that there’s different types of communist ideologies apart from the one he’s talking about, such as Anarcho-communism who believe that “true” communism is accomplished by dictatorship of the proletariat, however without a class and state. He ignored that then went back to his flawed point where communism is where “everything is equal” and that the “government controls everything, not a market.”
Then he proceeded to ask the class “What if I graded you all like a communist? Everyone in here would have a B.” And everyone was like “OH NO NO NO!!”
It’s just so ugh… He sounds so dumb it pisses me off, and the students just gobble that bullshit up, which pisses me off even more.
