how not to discourage leftists 

Without discussing any actual value in socialism/anarchism;

We're told (by authorities whose only cover for vicious greed is they did honest hard work for their every dime) that *any* movement leftwards is full on Marxist-Leninism.

It's equivalent to how 9th grade health classes teach you sex WILL give you an STD, drinking WILL kill you, and pot WILL give you a slow death after lifetime drug addiction.

Of course THE KIDS are gonna find leftist politics appealing!

how not to discourage leftists 

@Leucrotta when I was in grade school there was a "scare," which by reconstruction from my child-memories was probably about blotter acid, but what they told us kids was "if you find or somebody gives you blue star stamps don't lick them, because you'll go crazy, think you can fly, then jump off a roof and die."

this sparked a CRAZE for blue star stickers and stamps. we were licking EVERYTHING.
