WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Mar 16, 2021

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>You've all heard m I T. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>They have a publishing company and they're dipping their toe

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>into the children's book market. It's a book of fairy tales,

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know what the title is, Communism for Kids.

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>The fairy tales have an agenda teaching kids that communism

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.240
<v Speaker 1>is good. This is what they say about their book.

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>It all unfolds like a story with jealous princesses, fancy swords,

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>displaced peasants, mean bosses, and tired workers. But before they

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>know it, the readers are learning about the economic history

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of feudalism, class struggles, and capitalism, different ideas of communism,

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and more. Cartoon drawings of lovable little revolutionaries entice kids

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>through the evils of capitalism. The book has earned praise

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>from leftists, who say it's especially needed now that Trump

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.279
<v Speaker 1>is president. Young readers get the message that while some

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>forms of communism fail, class warfare ultimately leads to a

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>better world. He it's the age old live folks. The

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>only reason communism always fails is because the wrong people

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>have been in charge. No wonder liberals love the fairy

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>tale of communism. They never own up to the awful

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>reality of it. Poverty, scarcity, corruption, brutal oppression for those

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>forced to live under it, not to mention the tens

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of millions murdered under communist leaders like Stalin and Mao.

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Communism for kids is dreary, kitty kami propaganda, and I

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>predict young readers won't fall for it because I'm going

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to be competing against it. Screw this h
