    Ok but you’re still being kinda delusional. You want to vote hitler out? You want Vietnam and algeria and Haiti to vote the French out? Sometimes you have to use violence to stop the violence that someone else is doing.

      What I’m saying is in order to stop the future growth or rise of fascism, education is important. Letting kids read about the real history of oppression and violence is absolutely vital. I’m not delusional about the idea that the current fascists in office can be defeated with intellectualism - obviously that isn’t going to work. Sometimes you do have to fight fire with fire. But I truly believe that in most instances, to have peace you have to prepare for peace, by nipping fascism in the bud through early education and open discussions.
