I remember taking poli sci in college. Nearly every class involved me shouting down some reactionary shithead at least once and I remember turning in a paper that was half the minimum length once and still being given a passing grade on it. I took two classes from the same professor, and the intro to poli sci class literally, unironically taught the "socialism is when the government does stuff and when it does a lot that's communism" line as a fact, although in that class I got an A on the final paper by arguing in favor of what was basically the pop culture idea of the GDR (I was ideologically incoherent and politically illiterate at the time, because I was 18 and had never read any actual theory or history and instead just passively reached conclusions from pop cultural osmosis).
