I don't think they are either stupid or a part of a ridiculous prank but
they're probably a bunch of serious and inquiring people utilizing their time
by contemplating on socialist alternatives rather than to fool around with all
the distracting stupidities that young minds are supposed to concern. However,
they are obviously on the wrong track. I think myself as a half-crazy man who
lives in a fantasy world but reading out of context quotes from Mao on "inner
party unity" in front of a hammer and sickle flag is beyond my imagination. If
you're concerned with dialectical materialism, make sure that the subject in
question has at least an iota of connection with material reality. Organizing a
high school debate on if Stalin is good or bad does not seem a proper way to
practice it.
