you ever read Jakarta Method?
edit: follow-up on the "make sure they don't understand basic economics", if you can read through section 1 of this Communist Economics book and explain to me how it's not basic economics with some effort that doesn't rely on buzzwords or insults, I'll consider not banning you.

What “actual history books” are you talking about?
A lot of mainstream history books overlook deeper economic and class conflicts. The Korean War is called 'the forgotten war' because many history books skip over it and the U.S. support for oppressive regimes, as well as the class struggles involved. Similarly, the fast transformation of the Soviet Union from a near feudal society into an industrial powerhouse that played a crucial role in WWII is often downplayed, reflecting selective storytelling in history education. We should teach kids to view history through the lens of class struggles and economic forces, helping them understand that history isn’t just about leaders like Churchill - it’s really a result everyday people, their collective actions, and their material conditions.
I didn't know Soviet Russia rose out from feudalism like China. That's so cool.

Wow that's some funny projection you've got going there
