Great article. Thanks for posting it. But if it isn’t on their phone, most kids don’t even know what the holocaust was. Same thing with Stalin’s and Mao’s murderous purges, that make the numbers killed in the holocaust, look like amateur night. I don’t know what schools are teaching these days, but either they’re skipping 20th century history, altogether, or the kids are sleeping through it. The “man on the street” spots I see, are appalling, for the lack of their knowledge of history, in our young people. When I was a teenager, I didn’t know much, but I did know there was a holocaust, and I knew that communism was evil. I guess when Reagan “defeated” overt communism, we, as a society, thought we could relax and breathe easy. Ha! You know what they say about those who don’t learn from history.

Eh, to be fair, Marx did learn from History (how else would he know about the French Revolution and especially the Reign of Terror?), and yet sought to repeat it anyway, make it even bloodier than before. Same goes for Sartre and Foucault (and the latter arguably went a step further and desired to make it more like the September Massacres regarding “popular justice”.).
