Dr. Sarah Condor "First, we were told what to say and what we could not say – unless we “wanted to get in trouble.” Anything against the regime and system, or the government’s policies would have been punishable: at first by extreme ostracism, job relegation or firing, then by imprisonment or worse. Words of protest against any members of the Party or any public display of disapproval would have been met with strictest public reprobation."Second, in school, we had books which taught us pre-approved “common core,” which is to say we learned about the scientists favored by the regime and artists who extolled it. We were also taught about how evil, corrupt, dishonest capitalism was. A money-making capitalist was described as the epitome of all evil, the oppressor of all humanity. The ubiquitous motto on notice-boards, billboards and in classrooms was the globalist: “Proletariat of the world, unite!” and “With Soviet Union forever!” and some other illogical sayings, such as “Through war to peace!” and “With socialism to glittering tomorrows!” Propaganda is lies everyone must believe in." . . .
