Few today seem to understand just how awful life under socialism is.

Friend,
For more than a hundred years, communists have paraded their "down with
capitalism" slogans and prattled incessantly about the “all-embracing evils of
capitalism.”
But what happened when the communists finally gained control of a country?
The communist system that the Kremlin gangsters imposed became the most
arbitrary, arrogant, rigid government the world has ever known!
Sadly, the lessons from the USSR l have been lost.
Recent surveys show as many as 70% of millennials would vote for a socialist.
That number is growing with each generation…
Young people keep hearing how equitable and fruitful the system is, but the
truth is that poverty, inequality, and disregard for human dignity and human
life — that was everyday life under socialism, not brotherhood and equality.
Few today seem to understand just how awful life under socialism is.
That’s why the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) launched our flagship
program, FEE in the Classroom. This program goes into classrooms across the
country to teach young Americans how the principles of free markets benefit
everyone and why socialism offers nothing but false promises.
I am Lawrence Reed, Interim President at FEE. I set a goal to raise $30,000
before the end of the month to support this important program. Can you donate
$10, $35, $100, or any amount you can generously spare towards this goal? Click

I saw the communist system of government firsthand when I was in Poland in the
1980s, smuggling books about liberty into the Soviet Union itself.
The Soviets ruled their communist bloc with an iron fist. Freedom of thought
was expressly forbidden. You could be thrown into a gulag just for disagreeing
with the government.
Can you imagine if that happened in the United States?! Most of us would end
up in jail at one point or another.
FEE in the Classroom helps students understand that communism creates victims,
but capitalism creates victors!
FEE in the Classroom’s one-of-a-kind educational workshops uniquely engage,
inspire, and equip high school and college students with a deeper understanding
of the principles of free enterprise, limited government, and entrepreneurship
directly in their brick-and-mortar schools and through their virtual classes.
In a single day, 75–300 students engage with FEE’s faculty of acclaimed
instructors through compelling lectures, exciting economic experiments,
engaging group discussions, and Q&As on how the core principles of individual
liberty and free-market economics apply to their daily lives, communities,
careers, and state of the nation.
Our goal is to educate 80,000 students by the end of this year.
If you want to help FEE “smuggle” the ideas of liberty into high schools
across the country, then please select any amount below to donate today.

The bedrock difference between communism and capitalism is simply the
difference between abject slavery and freedom.
There is a reason that hundreds of thousands of people risked their lives to
flee socialist countries, but you never hear about someone risking their life
to escape from a capitalist country.
These images used to be commonplace. Now, after so many communist countries
have collapsed, young people no longer see the lengths people will go to to
escape.
FEE in the Classroom teaches lessons like this to the next generation. That’s
why I am personally asking you to support our work to get free market and
pro-liberty education into more classrooms here in the United States.

spare to support FEE in the Classroom. Click here to donate >>
