Communist Ideology and Education

What is the first thing that communists do?

We get asked that a lot,

and contrary to popular belief, it's not seizing the guns,

but indoctrinating the children.

We found a fascinating article called Communism in the Family,

written in 1920 by Alexandra Kolontai,

one of the leading voices in communist ideology.

She was a Bolshevik.

She actually left her husband and her children to devote herself to indoctrinating women and children.

She was appointed by Vladimir Lenin as the Commissioner of Social Welfare,

they legalized things like abortion, divorce, birth control, granted women's voting rights, also decriminalized prostitution.

She wrote this idea of bringing women into the working class and taking them out of the home,

making them believe that they have no right to educate their own children.

She wrote, The old family, narrow and petty, where the parents quarrel and are only interested in their own offspring,

is not capable of educating the new person.

It is the task of the new school to train up the younger generation whose

whole ideology shall be deeply rooted in the new communist society.

Their ideology must be put into every single subject.

Because it won't get into the minds of the younger generations if it's not all-encompassing.

Parents would homeschool their kids and they believed that those rights literally don't exist.

That totally coincides with the more recent things that we've been hearing from leftist politicians.

I'd like to say, first of all, there's no such thing as parental rights.

But it's true. They're all our children.

They're not somebody else's children. They're like yours when they're in the classroom.

The belief in zero private property literally comes down to our children.
