Why are liberals silent about communist crimes while denouncing Nazism in American schools

Dennis Prager, a bold voice who has never shied away from telling hard truths, recently hit another birthday. But the real celebration shouldn’t be the cake—it’s the lasting impact of his words on American minds, especially when it comes to the nightmare called communism. American kids today are taught to fear Nazism, which they should. But where’s the same outrage for communism, a system responsible for even more death and suffering across the globe?

Liberals love to look the other way when it comes to communism. In universities, professors spin horror stories about America and capitalism, but stay silent about the brutal regimes of China, Cuba, or the old Soviet Union. Why is that? Is it because deep down, the left still dreams of some utopian communist paradise, no matter how much blood had to be spilled to get there? The hypocrisy is right in the open, but the media and educators just shrug.

Dennis Prager isn’t afraid to ask why communism keeps getting a free pass. Millions died in gulags and forced famines under communist rule, yet you rarely see a Hollywood movie or Netflix special about those victims. Why isn’t it taboo to wave the hammer and sickle, just like the swastika? The answer is obvious—some on the left see communism’s failures as mere bumps in the road, not monstrous crimes against humanity.

Meanwhile, globalist elites and woke commentators bend over backward to blame America for all the world’s problems. But when it comes to communist dictators, suddenly liberals turn into history professors, making excuses or pretending those tragedies never happened. This isn’t just incompetence—it’s a criminal betrayal of truth and decency.

So here’s the real question Dennis Prager wants Americans to consider: Why aren’t we teaching our children to reject communism with the same passion that we teach them to hate Nazism? If we cared about the truth, we’d make sure no child grows up thinking these failed, deadly ideas are something to admire. Or will liberals keep rewriting history until the next generation forgets what real evil looks like?
