We clearly failed in the battle against Marxism.

I come from a country where the exaltation and apology of communism, was ever present in the school system. It was not part of the curriculum, but teachers would praise communism openly in the classroom, and academia (part of it) was openly Marxist.

This is the result, a generation that was indoctrinated in this system, and that now sees this behavior as accepted.

Too many echoes of the barbarity of the Chinese cultural revolution come to mind.
