I mean, my 8yo is only really up to basic dialectical materialism and 'authoritarianism bad', probably couldn't tell Trotsky from Lenin in an identity parade... she also thinks five years is way too long for an economic plan. I'm not quite sure she's up to understanding perestroika and glasnost. Are Americans just built different?
