      I listen to certain podcast uhumh people and they’re falling over themselves for home schooling. And school vouchers.

      Shit I was homeschooled and I tend to keep that on the DL just due to the stigma lol. Really sucks that fundies like this ruin something that can really be beneficial for some kids. I’d stress the worst offenders of homeschooling stem from religious fundamentalism and it can be done very successfully in a secular household.

    “The American school system is failing you.”

    “I was homeschooled dimwit.”

    “Literally proving my point.”

    “(rage)”

      I’ve met a decent amount of homeschooled kids, and though most were “smart” none were really knowledgeable about most things.

      Communism depends on the people on top not being greedy fucks who will just keep the power instead of distributing it. Humans aren’t like that. We’re greedy for power and we won’t share it from the top down.

      Socialism is much better as it works within the confines of the established system and just wants to alter it. Communism work on paper but humans are the part of the plan that doesn’t work. By the way I say this as a survivor of a murderous, Communist regime.
