Maybe let them cook, if this is as moronic as it sounds, it could turn out like D.A.R.E.

    Anti-communist education works weirdly well, and it might include boring-ass liberalism as a "genocidal ideology", but not due to complicitness in wars, but due to abortion, etc.

    I think anti-communist education works much better when a.) the majority of people aren't suffering massively under capitalism and b.) when you don't have a collapsing "communist" nation across the pond with which to say "We told you so!". It's way easier to point to the wonders of capitalism when you see people pulling themselves out of poverty by working their 9-5 factory job and raising 4 kids on a single income, and much harder when that system is now making you finance a $5 burrito, with interest.
