Questions

I often wake u in the middle of the night, sometimes to go to the bathroom, sometimes not. I usually fall back asleep in a few minutes and then wake up at the usual time.

So, a fairly ytpical night for me is...

Midnight - go to bed; 3am - Wake up; 330am - Fall back asleep; 7am - Wake up and Get up

What about you?

Do you sleep all night long, or wake up in the middle of the night.

A children’s book titled Communism for Kids: Learn What Communism Is and How It Has Changed the World for Babies, Toddlers, Kids and Young Children is being marketed to very young children.

Its full book overview says:

“This book is an introduction to communism for kids. It explains what communism is and how it has changed the world. Kids will learn about Karl Marx’s ideas. And they will also learn about the different attempts to make a communist society and why they all failed. Finally, kids will gain an appreciation for how Karl Marx’s ideas have made the world a better place.”

I have no objection to teaching children history, including capitalism, socialism, communism, fascism, and other political systems when they are old enough to understand them. But there is an important difference between teaching children what an ideology is—including its successes and failures—and explicitly seeking to cultivate appreciation for that ideology in babies, toddlers, and young children.

The description itself acknowledges that attempts to create communist societies failed, yet concludes by saying children will gain an appreciation for how Karl Marx’s ideas supposedly made the world better.

Should books for babies and young children encourage appreciation for Karl Marx’s ideas?

I want to start by saying I am not here to attack your faith or start an angry debate. To be completely honest, I do not believe in God. When I look at the world, things like biology, the brain, and how the universe works just seem to run on their own natural rules. Because of that, I have never really found a reason to believe in a creator.

But I am also very curious. I know belief is a huge part of many people's lives, and I want to understand the other side without judging it. I really want to know what it was that convinced you that God is real.

Was it a specific moment or a personal experience you had? Is it a logical idea that just makes perfect sense to you? Or is it something you just feel deep down?

I am not asking this so I can argue with your answers or tell you that you are wrong. I genuinely just want to see things from your point of view. And I like to keep an open mind. If someone shares a reason that is truly convincing and makes sense to me, I am absolutely open to changing my mind and believing too.

So, believers, what is your main reason for believing? I would love to hear your stories.

Young Americans will eventually become the voters, workers, parents, entrepreneurs, activists, and political leaders who shape the future of the United States. Two organizations are competing for very different visions of that future.

Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA), the youth and student section of the DSA, organizes young people around democratic socialism and says it seeks radical and structural change, including bringing key sectors of the economy under social control.

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organizes students around limited government, free markets, fiscal responsibility, freedom, and conservative principles.

These movements represent sharply different ideas about economics, government, individual freedom, and the direction America should take. Which vision would you rather see influence the next generation of Americans?
