Which is where communism got its bad rep from.

Again: Communism has never, ever been practiced.

There's been mangled messes of dictatorships that claimed to be under the "communist" label, but that's about as "Communism" as the US is a Monarchy.

^ this.

It cannot be practiced because an iron fist dictatorship must enforce the equality factor.

They used the ideal but never became one.

Pretty much. There's no problem in teaching the tenants of Communism to kids. Just like there's no problem of teaching Christanity to kids.

One's got fairy tale ideals, and one's just a fairy tale.

Once again those are the same exact two reasons I said makes the idea unworkable, if you had bothered to read my posts instead of looking at funny cartoons you wouldn't be standing there with egg on your face now.
Thanks for playing

Again: pure communism is impossible. Any attempt to build it requires a a violent form of coercion that usually leads to tyranny.
That's why the communist ideology is inhumane and will never lead to a prosperous and fee society.

Thanks for agreeing with me that communism has never, ever been practiced, and never will be practiced then.

Oh, and some would say the same thing of many other accepted groups. People should be free to hear all thoughts and chose for themselves, that is our right.

You wouldn't mind white supremacists promoting their values at public schools, would you?

Communism is not a problem the people who advocate for it are.

As long as they don't get violent about it, no, I wouldn't.

Not particuarly.

People are different, and have different ideals.

Therefore, the people advocating for communism now may not be like Stalin was.

And it's foolhardy at the very least to say otherwise.
