Distance lends enchantment. It works physically and temporally.
High achieving students should be required to give part of their grade points to low achieving students. (I’ve found this argument to be eye-opening to some young skulls-full-of-mush.
One only need to look at any Bernie Sanders rally ; to see how utterly clueless , or in a state of willing suspension of disbelief . This is the fruit of allowing Leftists penetrate and dominate our academia , for decades . What do we expect ? This is the result of some crazy toleration of the intolerable here in America . We are hanging ourselves with our own petard
The horror stories are effective, but our children are desensitized to horror. I think that’s probably why we have so many horror movies and books and TV shows.
You can tell them about large numbers of people dying, but they have already seen that on TV.....dozens of times.
Nobody likes to be cheated, and that is a story we should tell them about socialism/communism. Some people really believed it would work. But, in every instance, the leaders turned into crooks.
The Soviets had their dacha country estates.
Mao had his harem of young girls.
The Castros had their secret pleasure island.
People like Bernie and Hillary know that socialism doesn’t work. They just advocate it so that they can ride in the government limousines and live in the palace.
Young people have a strong sense of justice and they don’t like being lied to and cheated and that’s exactly what the Democrat leaders do.
Would not be a bit surprised if they think “socialism” is what you do on “social media”!
pass a law that says that every student gets a C.
Make “The Black Book of Communism” cumpulsary reading in high school and college. Make the students all do reports on the entire collapse of Venezuela and it’s entire economy society and the massive destruction of personal civil rights and civil liberties and government persecution and prosecution of Venezuelan citizens under socialism.
Tell them that if they get an "A", and someone else who doesn't want to do homework gets a "D" (which just is NOT fair), then to make it FAIR, they will just get a "B minus" no matter how hard they study....THAT is socialism to a kid.
SOCIALISM = “ECONOMIC FASCISM”
What the left doesn’t understand is there is the IMPLIED USE OF FORCE behind their policies to FORCIBLY take from some people to “redistribute” to others.
They claim that “using force” on people (e.g. wars and other means), but there is implied use of force via taxation (e.g. if you don’t pay your taxes, someone will come with a gun and take you to jail).
Additionally, the 13 Amendment would seem to make “involuntary servitude” illegal. It’s clear the LEFT is not the party of the Constitution nor the party of Liberty!
When I was the same age as these millenials I had a, I HATE this smarmy phrase, teachable moment concerning the goodness and light of socialism. One summer I worked at a parts store as a go fer. One of our regular customers was the local go-to guy when it came to German cars. We nicknamed him Sputnick because years earlier he his wife and then newborn son escaped from E Berlin just before the wall went up. If socialism is such a wonderful utopia of sunshine lollipops and rainbows everywhere then why was that damn wall built in the first place? To keep the Mexicans out?
The sign on my car says it all.
Vote socialism, now get in line for toilet paper you @$$#0 (
Horrors of communism are not taught instead its hip for millennials be in NYC KGB bar or live in Red Square with a Lenin statue on the roof.

Send them to Cuba as “voluntar” labor..
Millenials have damn sure learned the dangers of Crony Capitalism. It’s all they’ve ever known, and are rebelling against it. Unfortunately, they don’t know that true Capitalism even exists.
I lived in communist China for seven months in my early 20s - arrived a couple weeks after Mao died. The experience convinced me every American should spend a year in a communist country in their late teens or early 20s. It is a life-changing experience and your attitude toward liberty and tyranny will never be the same again.
Corporatism/Mercantilism is neither Socialism nor Capitalism. That is what both capitalists and socialists and everyone needs to learn. We cant even communicate with each other because we as a society mistakenly label the economic system that has increased the most in the past 50 years.
They'll be getting the bill!
Bernie headed for defeat, hopefully the young idiots (I still stay most don’t know what socialism is, they just want free college) lose interest for the general election.
Fire them. Repeatedly.
