it's a historically significant document

having that one book isn’t bad.

if there’s more communist literature, that is cause for worry.

Reading the communist manifesto is similar to reading Mein Kampf

it's necessary to provide historical context

You shouldn't read a Marxist critique of capitalism to understand what ancaps think

I expect a history teacher to have read and have a copy of the communist manifesto

Mein Kampf as well

Yes

The Communist Manifesto gives a look into the ideas of a man who’s ideology ruled half the world at one point

The Soviet Union was an attempt, by the globalists, to create a one world government.

My jewish history teacher last year had a copy of Mein Kampf. It’s historically significant and should be read for context. Having that book doesn’t make him a neo-nazi, just like having the Communist Manifesto doesn’t make you a communist.

Teaching history must be a comfy job

$40k a year to essentially pursue your hobby

unless it's teaching AP History in which case it's purely cirriculum

I feel like as interesting as history is, teaching it would get boring after a while.

Repeating a ton of interesting stuff for years would over time make it uninteresting.

True, but preferable to most jobs

I think the non-AP teachers have more freedom in cirriculum

AP/IB teachers have a scripted cirriculum

Which in of itself isn't bad for a student per se

It depends on the state for non-AP/honors teachers

In Michigan, for example (where I live) if I recall correctly all history teachers above middle school have little cirricular freedom.

Does your school’s library have Mein Kampf? It might have one but not the other which could be why he only has one

@Doctor Anon

Get the Ford or Stalag interpretation.

Other translations have sections intentionally removed or left grammatically incorrect for the English language.

@TheIntCarl no

Well this says something about the people here 🤔

@Da_Fish Dude that isn't even the Entire world. That thing leaves out Iran, Venezuela, South Korea, and some middle eastern countries that were effected by communism / Socialism

@Milk That they're smart

It also includes numerous states that were hardly Marxist-Leninist/Maoist and only claimed to be for communist support.

It's also anachronistic.

The only communist states were pretty much the USSR/Warsaw Pact and China.

North Korea for example distanced itself significantly from communism immediately after the Cold War and officially renounced it a few years ago, Castro was not a communist until he knew he could get gibs, and Savimbi was trained by China as a Maoist insurrectionist before he thought it was more profitable to fight communists.
