This has been an obvious tactic for a long, long time to any thinking person. Turn the other guy into the boggy man by lying and making out what ever ideology being spouted as some sort of nirvana. Impressionable students are most susceptible to the communist / socialist "democracy" ideology propaganda that it is better because it is more fair and everyone is equal. I am sure that "Animal Farm" is not required reading in any school or university in the country. Marx is probably on the list of required reading.
