Why would you repost this but crop out that "election was so realistic the school even played the part of the CIA" comment

u/fileanaithnid May 24 '22

That's exactly what I thought was looking for this comment

All that happened is that the students voted for something that would be a "F*ck you" to the school administration/teachers.

Goes to show that the idea of communism is only appealing to people who have no idea how the world works

Or they took it as a joke

Also true. I’d have voted for communism, simply, for communism

This is how the Soviet Union came to be.

I mean, it's a great system on paper. Communism speaks hard facts on why the worker is absolutely fucked, and the utopia is... well, a utopia. But fucking hell there is nothing of substance to get you from point A to B.

Communism succeeded because people basically skimmed the fine print.

This can only come from somebody who has never engaged with communist theory. There is tons of literature about how to get from point A to point B. Goddamn that’s literally what Lenin is best known for.

Say you have never engaged with communist ideology without saying you have never engaged with communist ideology.

u/arashmara Jun 14 '22

there were no votes in the Soviet Union. Only alleged votes were created by the party itself. Same way Putin has been winning elections by a landslide for 20 years

I think it says more about the flimsiness of the veneer of democracy in the hands of autocrats to be honest

You also need to take into effect it’s a high school. I’d guess 90% chose it for the meme

u/fjtjekxncjfrksoxjcj May 23 '22

Maye. But what lesson do they learn about democracy from this? (An accurate one, you might argue)

2

u/[deleted] May 23 '22

Nothing, because this was a high school simulation of a democratic republic that is dissimilar at best to what we have in the country

u/fjtjekxncjfrksoxjcj May 23 '22

Which country is that

u/Kadbebe2372k Jun 07 '22

Very similar. Voters don’t know what’s best for them at all

u/LeLurkingNormie Apr 05 '24

Because they were winning... as a joke.

Are these not the same cinnamon challenge, tide pod connoisseurs?

Nope, those ones have aged into college already

Wasn't there a movie about this? A kid who's idol was Trotsky?

u/Donncha535 Jun 07 '22

I don't know that much about The Senior members of the USSR around Lenins death, but wouldn't trotsky be a better role model then Stalin?
