Public education is one of the basic principles of any socialist program. Public education was one of the very first things the USSR and Cuba did. Uneducated people fall easier to propaganda.

Teachers are cops and being pro teacher is pro cop. Literally if you try to refuse public school as a child, violent enforcement will be threatened and eventually called if you don't confirm.

Being anti-public education is literally a fascist talking point and one that's dangerously popular with US conservatives already. Public education is far from perfect, but removing resources will make every single problem with it worse. Besides, teacher's unions are one of the last viable union careers.

I'll get us started: compulsory public education in a capitalist society is prone to child abuse. It's where imperial propaganda gets ingrained and where people who want power over children have unlimited access to control them.

Compulsory public school is a topic that could easily turn into a struggle session.

Don't forget Boko Haram got their start of Libya's destruction too.

Tan suit Dijon mustard obama-drone was amusing until I realized how much of politics is theater. It was just too blatant this time, but so much of American news is only slightly more serious than Dijon mustard.

Ww2 is interesting because yes that was the one war where the US was justified but they did it in a way that only benefited American interests. And also only after they were attacked first.

Was it democratic when Zelensky banned every socialist party in the country? Was it democratic when an unelected coup government in Ukraine banned the Russian language from official use, prompting the Russian majority regions to demand autonomy? Was it democratic when Zelensky was voted in on the promise of enforcing Minsk II which would have given autonomy to the Donbass and ended the civil war, but then he immediately reneged on that promise and continued to bomb his own country?

The Russian Federation is by no means a force for good, but if you look at the US it has never "invested in democracy" because it doesn't care about democracy. It cares about client states getting in line. Pakistan is only the most recent coup they've encouraged.

It's like he constantly fails every check in that game.
