"The Colorado teachers union confirmed adopting an anti-capitalist polemic at its 97th Annual Delegate Assembly.

The Colorado Education Association, which represents more than 39,000 K-12 teachers, support professionals and higher education staffers, held its assembly in April and passed this resolution:

"The CEA believes that capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources. Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing s******c r****m (the school to prison pipeline), c*****e c****e, patriarchy (g****r and L***Q disparities), education ine******y, and income ine******y."

Bryan Lindstrom, a history teacher in Aurora who ran for city council in 2021, authored the resolution.

Lindstrom didn't return requests for comment, but his Twitter feed hints of his ideological persuasion. On May 1, for example, he tweeted the last line from Marx and Engels' The C*******t Manifesto, "Workers of the world, unite!"

By declaring industries as people, the not-so-Supreme Court opened the buy-government doors to Industrial Capitalism directing the government. Trump era tax cuts for the rich and industries is a prime example. Capitalism and it's monopolistic practices in a sense ens***ed people ... eventually changes were made with wage and hours and the regulation of industry. The capitalistic trusts were quite a historic problem in late 1800s and early 1900s.

People call many humanitarian practices, social-programs, as being Socialism or even C*******tic. The Republicans have not learned from history that "Let them Eat Cake" leads to disaster. The beer drinking public often confuse social programs with people being lazy. The masses loved simpleton Baby Bush as a man who understood them when they had a bit to much to drink, they thought of him as being one of them.

The public do not know the definition of political systems and fail to understand that there must be a blend. Socialism is "Socialism is a political and economic system wherein property and resources are owned in common or by the state. C*******m, an idealistic system, "The c*******t ideology was developed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and advocated the usage of resources of society, by society and for society. C*******m is confused with the tyrannical practices of many authoritarian rulers Stalin, Putin, and Trump's ruler for life goals.

Throughout the ages the ruling class has dominated and ens***ed the "underlings," it continues. The CEA is correct, but will suffer "slings and arrows" by the media and the governing.

Grow-up and open your Blurry Eyes... The national debt grew under Trump and now the Republicans do not want to pay what they spent and gave away... they used our charge cards to buy the e******n of this useless congress.

No kidding, the debt grew under Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden.... So what is your point? BTW, last year tax receipts were the highest ratio to GDP as they have been in over 20 years, so your argument falls a bit flat. There is also the fact that Biden's deficit spending will exceed Trump's if it is not curtailed, again, what is your point?

BTW, the OP is about Socialism/C*******m v Capitalism which has done more to lift people out of poverty than any other system in world history. Our system is far from pure capitalism so let us not pretend that it is not nor should we pretend that the far left is advocating for anything short of pure socialism.

Chump's Tax Plan TCJA was "supposed" to make it easier for companies to bring jobs and investments back to the U.S.

Have you seen any proof of this happening? Not talking about NEW jobs and/or NEW small business growth here. We are talking about outsourced jobs and manufacturing returning to the US.


Since the TCJA was enacted, corporate tax revenue has been down from its projected level by about one-third, even as pretax corporate profits have continued to rise toward historic highs

It was supposed to be a gift-wrapped present to taxpayers and the economy. But in hindsight, it looks more like a costly lump of coal.

The only difference between full Socialism and C*******m is the spelling.

No... you're obviously off your meds again and did NOT comprehend then thread.


Pure Socialism is controlled by the state... just like the current GOP is trying to implement with regards to woman's rights today.

Pure C*******m is a system that is controlled by the people, to benefit the people.

Pure Capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.


Tell us... WHY is it that you feel it's OK for private owners to control our economic and political system so that THEY can make a profit.... off of the sweat of the workers they abuse? Shouldn't those workers, the very ones that allow those owners to make a profit, share in that which is reaped?

BS, show us a c*******t state that is not totalitarian, you can dream my friend but I live in the real world.

Now maybe we can get back to the topic of this thread and the indoctrination that is happening in our public schools.

Mratios evaluate on TWO variables. Numerators and denominators. As such, there are at least two ways to change said ratio’s evaluation. To brag that last year’s ratio of tax revenue to GDP is high actually slams Biden policy regardless of the origin of the ‘high’ ratio. There are three ways to have that ratio higher. 1) Higher taxes on a stagnant GDP, which guarantees the GDP remains stagnant or decreases. 2) Decreased GDP, a death knell for every social program and future revenue. 3) Both 1 and 2, a one way ticket to emulating the economy of Germany circa 1920.

By ignoring the trillions of $$ we don't have that biden contributed to the debt, you present a biased argument.

When we through our Confirmation Bias, carefully chose those news outlets that support our beliefs and refuse to watch those that disagree, we cripple our reasoning powers and weaken our Nation. .

If there is no constitutional right to an a******n which there never was it does make your argument fringe, personally I am not thrilled about what some of the Red states are doing but I certainly see nothing in the constitution that confers a right to abort a baby. So, your statement makes you no better than those state legislatures and governors with who you disagree.

You say, “ Pure C*******m is a system that is controlled by the people, to benefit the people” and I ask where’s that ever existed? As a matter of fact where has any of these simplistic explanations of economic systems worked?
