    Best way to promote communism is to keep calling for it to be banned and persecuted.

    Any kid automatically knows that anything adults ban is something kids want to know about just to piss everyone off.

    If many kids didn’t know about communism, they do now.

    The streisand effect is a beautiful thing.

    “Unlike those brainwashing communists, we don’t indoctrinate our kids to tow the party line”

      Even if by literally you really mean figuratively, that’s still a hyperbolic thing to say[1]. Trump is as American as apple pie and oligarchy[1][2].

          Israel is a client state of the US, not the other way around. The tail is not wagging the dog. The US funds Israel, and then Israel uses some of that money to bribe lobby US politicians. But US politicians were going to pursue imperialism in Western Asia regardless, because, Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.

    I feel like the whole outright luring about things that happened under communism combined with not really explaining what communism is has worked insanely well, I don’t know why you’d attempt to change that now. Unless the number of self identified communists in the USA has been fudged and there’s way more than I think there is, this is pretty much a non issue that’s already been dealt with for the capitalists.
