Because I work as a teacher in a private school, I can have classes on subjects of my choosing. On a day we were not planning a bid day for classes, I cancelled regular classes, and decided to have an auditoruim class for the entire school.
The subject was the problems with communism.
First we had the Rosh Yeshiva (The head of the high school seminary) talk about his experiences running a Jewish camp in the Ukaraine and the wacky stories about buying tomatoes off the black market, finding stores with lines hours long, etc.
Then I spoke about the major philosophical problems with the communist manifesto, communism. I was able to destroy it because I was a philosophy major back in college.
The next speaker was the math teacher, who was an economics major. He spoke about the problems with that focus in mind.
Any wacky ideas they might have had before are gone now.
