My teacher, who is a cool guy and very open minded in politics, ( he has a picture of Reagan with a red magnet on his nose, however thats a plus) and im always a very vocal student, emphasizing the genocide of over 100 million natives, all for money. We were in the 1900-1915 era, and the first major presence of socialism in america. He started to define it, by saying the goverment controlls everything, and i butt in right away, saying that was wrong ( no one really raises their hand in this class) and gave the correct definition, and then defining communism, since the goverment/schools are trying to give people a wrong and negative view on socialism. People believed me, even the teacher ( who later pulled me aside and said " hey, I know your right, but i gotta teach a certian curriculum. If I taught what i wanted, id totally tell the correct definition, but yeah. Your good you can go to lunch") at lunch, many ( by " many" i mean 5 or 6) kids asked me questions about socialism, stuff about college, Soviet Union, goals of socialism, and one id asked whsts the most socialist sandwich (and yes he was kidding). Im currently trying to get involved in the boston socialist alternitive, and 1 of them said he'd be happy to help!
