Teach Your Children Well

Jesse Myerson (@JAMyerson) seems to believe he is so clever that the “points” he makes in advocating communism deserve a detailed rebuttal, and I suppose there may be people who have nothing better to do with their time than to supply such a response. In which communist @JAMyerson briefly demonstrates his deficiency of reading comprehension. […]

How Much Do You Hate Commies?
