I Can See Communism From My House!

Geography, High School, Michigan, Schoolmates, Students, Stupid, USA | Learning | August 26, 2019

(I’m a high school sophomore in World History class. We’re doing a unit on the Cold War, and so, naturally, we discuss capitalism versus communism quite a bit. We have an assignment to complete during one of our classes. One of the questions asks for the names of the two modern communist countries. I put down Cuba and China, check my answer on the Internet, and move on. Then, I hear this from another student halfway across the room.)

Student: “Wait, which Alaska is communist again?”

(The worst part is that he’s lived in America all his life and seemed completely serious!)

This story is part of our Ignorant-About-Communism roundup! This is the last story in the roundup, but we have plenty of others you might enjoy!
