1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: You've all heard m I T. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: They have a publishing company and they're dipping their toe

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: into the children's book market. It's a book of fairy tales,

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: and you know what the title is, Communism for Kids.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: The fairy tales have an agenda teaching kids that communism

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: is good. This is what they say about their book.

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: It all unfolds like a story with jealous princesses, fancy swords,

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: displaced peasants, mean bosses, and tired workers. But before they

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: know it, the readers are learning about the economic history

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: of feudalism, class struggles, and capitalism, different ideas of communism,

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: and more. Cartoon drawings of lovable little revolutionaries entice kids

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: through the evils of capitalism. The book has earned praise

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: from leftists, who say it's especially needed now that Trump

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: is president. Young readers get the message that while some

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: forms of communism fail, class warfare ultimately leads to a

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: better world. He it's the age old live folks. The

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: only reason communism always fails is because the wrong people

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: have been in charge. No wonder liberals love the fairy

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: tale of communism. They never own up to the awful

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: reality of it. Poverty, scarcity, corruption, brutal oppression for those

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: forced to live under it, not to mention the tens

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: of millions murdered under communist leaders like Stalin and Mao.

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Communism for kids is dreary, kitty kami propaganda, and I

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: predict young readers won't fall for it because I'm going

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: to be competing against it. Screw this h
