      I remember my first description of communism from a teacher in 5th grade.

      “The government can force you to work in any field they decide. If they need dentists, they might just force you go to dentists school for 4 years. If after that, they decide they need plumbers, they will send you to plumber school and you will be a plumber. You don’t get to choose. If you don’t like it, they will send you to Siberia, which is a bad place.”

      Yeah they don’t teach this in social studies and any school in America.

      They actually teach what socialism is and what communism is. That’s where I learned it.

      And why I know the difference between the two and what the definitions are both of these things.
