    I was reading a newspaper today and i came across a story about the the international baccalaureate being banned in some american district as being "un american" and marxist. so what i was thinking was are these people as thick as a 2 short planks cos in my opinion to get someone to do somthing all you need to do is ban it eg. my parents said i wasnt allowed to smoke now im a smoker. so do you believe the believe that it is time the american people got theyre heads out of the cold war and started realising maybe an idea that was "threatening" almost 30 years ago isnt today? tell me what you think.

    I always said you Americans were crazy.

    That's why you're such great neighbours! :D

    i for one find this a total joke. I am a very big believer in socialism but im not going around shouting down with government up with socialism because its a stupid waste of time it wont do anything so waste my time. America is in danger of creating what it feared during the cold war by banning the baccalaureate. smart individuals who do agree with the ideas of marxism.

    Marxism owns, but people are too ignorant to accept the fact that help one another out, and being paid the same isn't a bad thing. Just look at Cuba, though they people are quite poor, they are all happy. The place is very well taken care of, just 2nd-hand things.

    People are just too greedy to accept the thoughts of altruism.

    I personally agree, America is stuck in Cold War status, anything that i said could be a threat now adays. You can't go out and talk about anything with the words bomb, or terrorist in it. Plus banning the show is an invasion of rour rights set by the founding fathers (possibly the only sane group of american politicians). We have freedom of press and expression, aand by banning the show (even though this sounds stupid) is a violation of rights, downright oppression (maybe in a small form) but everything starts small like this and escalates. In my oppinion America is becoming what it originaly fought. Just my 2 cents.

    The baccalaureate is actually a form of degree that was originally invented in france it teaches students philosophy as well as many other subject the bit in particular that they are complaining about is to do with philosophy because marxist ideology is one of the most important political ideologies in the world (even as important as capitalism) granted i can understand the reasoning for the cold war because russia wasnt actually following marxist ideology and was further away from communism then most countrys at the time. but marxism is totally different it believes in the construction of a socialist state that WILL EVENTUALLY lead to communism in witch a central government will no longer be neccessary. Sad as it is to say marxism and communism are to massively different ideas and it is not right to ban marxist thinking because theyve had a bad experience with communism.
