you're completely deranged. socialism/communism is barely mentioned at all in the public school system, and never in a positive light. the genocide of native americans was not discussed outside of a cursory mention of the Trail of Tears. watching 'Roots' was about the depth of instruction on slavery. I never heard a single critical word about the US from any teacher, and I was in the public school system all the way through college. I never even had to read Howard Zinn, the classic conservative boogeyman, a single time for any class.

the far-right in Europe is resurgent largely on the back of anti-migrant racism and hysteria, and that's with a crisis involving 5-6 million people. now imagine things with 25 million people, or more, and not just focused in Europe. it's going to be very bad.

Gandhi was hardly the sole arbiter of Indian resistance. In fact their success in fighting colonial rule was dependent on the reality that there were people like Bhagat Singh who were willing to and did use militant tactics.

> The use of force by the state to entrench the position and profits of a particular business

This is a natural and obvious end following from the foundation of capitalism, which is the existence of private property ensured by the state.

> Drugs in the UK exist but not in an epidemic. Teenagers and students smoke weed and then move on

this is not at all true from my understanding of MDMA usage in the UK
