[quote=Anonymous]Re ageism. Not really -- more a generational thing. The whole Soviet Youth thing is such a Cold War trope re children and politics. Can't possibly be thinking for themselves -- must have been brainwashed by Commies. And I recognize it because I'm probably about the same age as the PP and remember growing up with similar images (which, I think, were, in turn, supposed to remind us of Hitler Youth). Kind of ironic when you remember that, at the same time, we were seeing African-American children deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Then again, according to some folks the CRM itself was a Communist plot. Maybe I'm mistaken but I'd venture to guess that these are not the first set of images that leap to the minds of people born after 1970 when they think of kids and politics, which is why I suggested the PP's POV was the product of a particular era.
