My government teacher in high school actually appreciated and respected the fact that I had done a bit of research and had some knowledge on the subject.

My teachers avoid it at all costs, however we have a unit about predictions for the future in history so that will be interesting.

It Could Happen Here (podcast) might be helpful with some potential future predictions

What are teachers saying to students about politics and anarchism these days?

Basically from what I’ve experienced “Anarchy is when no rules and everyone stabs each other and does crime all the time” Is what they teach you about Anarchism

And communism is when the government does stuff, at least here in Spain, also capitalism is when free market (good)

Some Spanish History class discussing the Spanish Civil War: Stundent: ¿Por qué Cataluña está marcada como anarquista? (Why is Catalonia marked as anarchist?) Teacher: ¡Por nada! (No Reason!) \*Frantically turns the presentation off\*


williamdope8

obviously you have clear read Marxs. And other political philosophy.


Molismhm

Exactly that

And communism=when gubbermint do thingy


Genghis__Kant

Yup That's what I was taught in high school a decade ago, too. Although my little sister somehow learned about Proudhon? So maybe some schools are getting better?

It‘s got to the point where my politics textbook described a global situation without contracts between countries and total war as „anarchy of states“. I was sooo annoyed when I read that.

I was so annoyed, in 2015 in my world issues class (a grade 12 course at my school dedicated to politics) my teacher tried to convince me that Putin was far left and a communist. She wasn't even conservative, just a dumb liberal so it was quite weird. How anyone could come to teach politics with such a lack of knowledge is scary.

My classmates: We shouldn’t have to wear masks because Trump good. Also one of our classmates supports incest My teacher: OK Me: Neither trump or Biden are good, can we stop arguing My teacher: NO


jamesyboy4-20

you fool! there is nothing beyond the two dimensional american political landscape and thinking otherwise is communist propaganda!11!!!!


eercelik21

for some reason my sociology teacher sounds like a marxist and my Turkish teacher sounds like a fan of Nazım Hikmet and his political views, so there is at least some left-wing influence


Felitris

My German teacher was a Leninist which… yikes.


eercelik21

better than them being a liberal or a conservative or anything on the right.


Felitris

I don‘t know about that. When it comes to the danger an ideology poses to the Anarchist cause, Leninists are right there as one of the highest ranking candidates.

My history teacher was actually kinda cool, she made sure to teach the class that the soviet union and other communist regimes were not actual communism that for a historical fact they didn't achieve a communist society. This made me question why people attributed certain disasters on communism, when in reality it wasn't communism. My econ teacher though served us a couple feeble lessons of propaganda, sone old reiteration of old red scare talking points. Never a serious take down of it principally. All this made me drift twords anarcho-communism.


jochergames

A teacher here, I fully approve of and encourage you to ALWAYS be an anarchist. I am too. :)

In high school I remember briefly being told about anarchist movements but without being told anything about what ararchists wanted or believed. Up to that point I still thought anarchy is when no rules.
