Our latest history lesson was on Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto (thank you Linda Hobar and the Mystery of History!).
As I was reading and explaining Marx's theories and how Communism and Socialism are "supposed" to work, my oldest said, "wait, so if private industry goes away, doesn't that make the government the rich and powerful ones?"
Yes, yes, yes. And again yes - if my 16-year-old can figure this out, then those who are okay with socialism and communism are CHOOSING to not see this truth.
