What I’m saying is in order to stop the future growth or rise of fascism, education is important. Letting kids read about the real history of oppression and violence is absolutely vital. I’m not delusional about the idea that the current fascists in office can be defeated with intellectualism - obviously that isn’t going to work. Sometimes you do have to fight fire with fire. But I truly believe that in most instances, to have peace you have to prepare for peace, by nipping fascism in the bud through early education and open discussions.
I could have made that clearer in my original post. I was really talking about educating future generations - rather than trying to take down the current regime.

Ohh gotcha, agreed.
