The University of Wisconsin-Madison has decided to create an entire class about the harm and injustices created by communism throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
Just kidding.
Instead, the college is creating a class about how capitalism “generates harms” and “is irrational in ways that hurt nearly everyone,” reported The College Fix.
Dr. Erik Olin Wright teaches the graduate course “Class, State, and Ideology: An Introduction to Social Science in the Marxist Tradition,” which instructs students how to challenge and eventually transform society.
It doesn’t take an advanced masters degree to understand that the history of the world is harsh and brutal. Prosperity and wealth aren’t the status quo. However, they stem from the creation of free-markets, stable governments, law enforcement, and property ownership — which have been very rare over the course of human history.
Given that apparently graduate students know little about the dangers of ignoring history, maybe it would benefit society if they did a brush up on what happened in the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and Venezuela. They’ll find that communism caused the death of nearly 100 million people throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Besides murdering and starving their own people, they denied their citizens the right to live their respective lives as they wished.
Pictures are worth a thousand words, but the actions by these governments are worth millions of lives.
Some of the worst atrocities committed by the Soviet Union include the war crimes against thousands of Poles and the starvation of millions of Ukrainians.
Fidel Castro executed tens-of-thousands of political prisoners and enemies throughout his gruesome reign and made poverty an epidemic in Cuba.
China was the most brutal of all regimes, killing more than 60 million of their own citizens and forcing abortions of millions of more baby girls.
Venezuela is the latest failed state because of their decision to move to embrace communism. Starvation, riots, kidnappings, murders, and a total lack of basic needs are an everyday reality for the South American nation.
