    Did anybody else here ever notice that capitalist fairy tales always start, "Once upon a time...", and communist fairy tales always start, "Someday in the future... " ?

    The difference is that fairy tales are meant to entertain children whereas communist tales are intended to influence adults.

    But it's not just entertainment for kids.

    The way I see it- Kids are sort of like computers in that they need formatting. We call it a child's formative years. When you give them stories like the so called hero Robin Hood that is socialist formatting. Same with Jack and the Beanstalk. Kill the giant and steal his magical means of production, lol.

    Once a kid is formatted, when they hit their teens or maybe a bit earlier, from there they are just running programs according to their formatting- for the most part.

    When I was kid my family had cool kid's books. Like Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, and I Can Lick Thirty Tigers Today, and The Sneetches.

    Why is Robin Hood socialist programming? He rebelled against a system of taxation and helped to establish the manga carta which established some basic rights and limited the authority of the throne.

    Robbin Hood is no hero. The story implies that the rich only get rich through evil means, which is ironic because here you got Robin Hood making poor people rich by stealing other people's stuff.

    You should probably review the myth again. Robin Hood resists tyranny.

    That's what all the people that conspired with Robin Hood and received stolen property say.

    Both use the "one day, in the future" excuse and avoid arguments about historical performance by saying that their theory has never been put to pure practice, but that it would be so awesome if it were.

    there is no pure capitalism in the us, it has been comprimised by socialist ideas for a long time, from the 40 hr work week, child labor laws, social security and on and on

    some places like florida want to continue telling fairy tales in schools rather than objective truths, and the right love it
