Russian Bears Riding Bicycles

It seems that Karl Marx is alive and living in Seattle. "Teachers" at a private school there have banned the use of Legos because they wanted their students to learn that private property ownership is evil.

The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown "their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys." These assumptions "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society -- a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive."

Once again, these lefties prove they are totally out of touch with reality. The debate on Communism is over. You don't have to read Das Kapital to understand the idiocy of Marxism and collective ownership. Just look at pictures of bread lines in the former Soviet Union. Or look at photos of Soviet apartment complexes, where the communal hallways and toilets were filthy because no one owned them. You can see the same thing in the massive public housing projects that were constructed under LBJ's War on Poverty. Every time one of those buildings is imploded, it is proof of the failure of socialism. Then there are the gulags, the forced labor, the banning of all capitalist activity, the starvation, and the use of walls, barbed wire, armed guards, and vicious dogs to keep people from escaping to countries with property rights. Socialism, thy name is North Korea. Yet, these idiots who control our schools just don't get it. They never will.
