Why is the Paris Commune not taught on schools?
Why is the Paris Commune not taught on schools?

Because it failed, and you're lucky if the little shitheads know who Hitler is after 5 years of history classes.
Andrew Adams
Because claiming that Russia invented communism is better for the anti-Putin agenda
Jason Robinson
In my European History class (I live in Texas) we spent an entire lecture on the Paris Commune.
Samuel Wright
I happened to be reading about the Paris commune on my commute home the day of the November shootings.
Felt strange for it be on the news when I came in.
Justin Barnes
It's because it isn't covered on the vast majority of history courses available in my country. There are a few but they are generally extremely specific.
Luke White
That's pretty rare I think
Chase Brooks
It's a minor footnote in history, so schools are unlikely to require it to be covered. Of course, professors still have the ability to talk about it on their own.
Eli Watson
Everyone knows that Marx was german.
Bosch genocide when ?
Adam Murphy
Because kids are dumbfucks who will forget about it the next year.
> Be me in Grade 7
> Teacher asks kids if they know the Holocaust and Hitler
> No one raises hand
> I raise hand and say it's when Hitler killed Jews and Hitler was leader of Germany
> Teacher is shocked at how retarded her class was
What baffled me was that these people played Call of Duty and still had no fucking clue whatthe whole game was about. I thought Holocaust was common knowledge for everyone 10+, but instead I'm just an edgy history fag who vents on anonymous anime boards.
> Be in college
> No one knows Pol Pot
> Don't teach in schools because he was U.S. ally
> Doesn't fit into narrative of America supporting freedom
At this point, I think kids should just learn basic facts about history and expand on that knowledge themselves at home or at the library. ((( Education ))) is a propaganda tool and parents don't give a fuck about the Paris Commune and the ones who do teach it themselves.
Landon Turner
Well I am guessing you are an American, Europeans genetically enjoy researching things, thus kids here know about the holocaust and everyone in college would know about pol pot
Juan Bell
Dude, maybe you were in some kind of special ed class, kids around Europe are dumb fucks but most of the kids in Grade 7 know who fucking Hitler is, and I refuse to think that US people are that much dumb and uninterested about anything
Dylan Richardson
Jesus, don't give them any ideas
Jordan Hernandez
>and I refuse to think that US people are that much dumb and uninterested about anything
Then you'd be wrong
Ryan Taylor
No lie had a chick ask me who won WW1 unironically in 10th grade
Oliver Baker
WW1 was a footnote too, like 5 germans and 16 austrians died. Who the fuck cares?
Adam King
It lasted like 2 months.
Gabriel Perez
Because it failed.
Leo Howard
This
It is an extremely small footnote. If it is to be taught it should be only to show how extreme leftists are incredibly vile and anti science.
Christopher Diaz
Still the very first communist revolt in history
Robert Baker
Right as I said it's a good example of shitty communists are
Luis Hernandez
hahaha well it depends on the school I guess. I did study it
Robert Russell
Because the Paris Commune was stupid and insignificant. No need to waste time learning about a failed experiment that lasted for like 3 months.
Jason Jackson
It was a failed rebellion that lasted for a couple of weeks and was only possible because the state and city itself had just lost a major war. Only commies focus on and wank over the Paris commune.
Juan Fisher
Why don't they teach the Fiume Endevour in classes? It was the first implementation of a corporatist socioeconomic system and arguably the first fascist state in history after all.
Grayson Rodriguez
because things are taught IN schools, not on top of them
Hunter Price
Don't want the proles getting any ideas
Christopher Reed
We were taught about it in our school but hey, third world countries really don't count right?
Lucas James
>and I refuse to think that US people are that much dumb and uninterested about anything.
Have you ever even been to this country? The stupid fat American stereotype exists for a reason.
Most people are not that monumentally dumb, but many are, especially when it comes to the subject of history and geography.
Parker Cooper
What country?
Christian Ramirez
could you send me some links to that? i wanna read about it but google is giving me nothing
Colton Hughes
they don't want the proles getting the idea to recreate a failed example of failed ideology?
Aiden Powell
*tips*
Jordan Perez
Why do people always assume everyone else is retarded just because they don't engage in class? No one is raising their hand because your teacher is asking stupid questions that aren't actually engaging, and you're the kind of student that likes to pretend you're smarter than everyone else.
Andrew Perez
>communist
>calling someone else a fedora
never thought I'd see the day
Connor King
Have you ever seen pics of Ayn Rand?

It's a pretty interesting piece of history.
