Questions: Society & Politics

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?

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?

Turning point USA and Young Democratic Socialists of America agree on one thing: Media Bias - https://mtsusidelines.com/2025/04/01/turning-point-usa-and-young-democratic-socialists-of-america-agree-on-one-thing-media-bias/

Trrump has attacked Iranian Nuclear Plant, schools, and hospitals , will he be tried for war crimes at the Hague? Will more in Trump ADM also be tried.. And remember the other war where the fisherman in the boats that were defenseless and were just trying to make a living.

Trump said like Epstein that he liked them young. He would peek in on Miss Teen contestants to see them naked.

Trump the idiot who can't admit he screwed up, continues to bomb Iran and Iran keeps destroying US Bases. Iran also is blitzing other countries.

DSA’s radical agenda:

The DSA’s current program explicitly includes “Feminism For All,” declaring: “Socialist feminism fights for queer liberation and the freedoms of all working class women.” It also supports unrestricted reproductive and gender-transition policies, changes to marriage and family policy, and compensation for care work.

On government, the DSA states: “For the working class to govern, we need a new political system.” Its stated proposals include abolishing the Electoral College and Senate; replacing the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary selected by and subordinate to Congress; replacing the two-party system with proportional, multiparty elections; and publicly owning the largest corporations and essential industries.

Its constitution also rejects an economic order based on private profit and endorses popular control of production, economic planning, equitable distribution, and feminism. These are the DSA’s own stated goals—not a conservative interpretation of them.
