Florida public schools will force students to take a Heritage Foundation-backed class on the “evils of communism.”

I don’t see a problem with teaching about a history of communism and about atrocities. As long as its fair and factual. Cause there have been atrocities and failures, as with any system.
I wish them luck finding factual atrocities commited by communism ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Communism itself hasn’t commited any atrocity. But some implementations of it have been attempted, resulting in authoritarian regimes that did commit atrocities. I’m not against teaching about those, so next time we try we can learn from our mistakes. But of course, communism = bad is not the way to do it, and communism = atrocities isn’t either.
FWIW, wp:Glasnost comes to mind.
The Holodomor, the so-called “Cultural Revolution”, and the Killing Fields immediately come to mind.
Rage Against the Machine had a song praising a Communist who got a lot of indigenous Peruvian blood on his hands.
Ah yes, the atrocity of forcing the rich to share with the poor, truly horrific for them.
And people that reject marxism aren’t comminists no matter what they claim.
Are you saying that the victims of the Holodomor, the so-called “Cultural Revolution”, and the Killing Fields were rich; or that those who benefited didn’t include the new leaders and their minions?
Very telling to call people minions
Minions to the Great Dear Leader, to Uncle Joe, the Great Helmsman—though Guzmán might have been their equal, he being the “Fourth Sword of Marxism”.
