Do children need ideology?

May 19 marks the 86th anniversary of the Young Pioneers' organisation. By the time the Soviet Union collapsed, this youth organisation had 25 million members. It survived in the New Russia, but now the Young Pioneers is just one of many minor youth organisations. Do children need to belong to some organisation or is it better to leave them alone? To answer these questions, our guest today is Maria Filippenko.

Children don't have the initiative or the resources to do activities organize plan trips etc. We are all born helpless TV and Internet and certainly not school will really prepare them for life. School is of course the state, this lady sounds stupid or just a selfish rich person she is what we in America call a Republican.

Boy Scouts has plenty of PAPERWORK BUREAUCRACY and ideology so its not that different. I happen to believe that public interests are more important than private. This is kindergarten stuff we have to learn along and learn there is more than just one in the world. We are not the center of the universe

Organization without ideology does not exist, because it is ideology itself which binds people and brings them together.

If they have no cohesion, then there is no group, and the cohesion is ideology its very self.

1 of the primary reasons double standards exist is because the people are children, who make unrealistic demands, want something for nothing, are never satisfied, etc. In essence, the people want to be lied to. They don't want the truth. So opportunists give them what they want.

Some morals are universal and should be indoctrinated, otherwise who will indoctrinate the youth, Money, gangs, religious extremism, ultra-nationalism, all things that will destroy a civilization.

The society is above the individual, that is why all private companies must abide by state and federal law. The idea that the individual is above the society is not grounded in reality and teaching that value is teaching legal and political ignorance.

She claims she does not believe in political indoctrination, but by claiming the individual opinion is above the group she is promoting a liberal political ideology. It's this ultra tolerance of individualism that is destroying America and will destroy the Russian identity. It's because of ideas like hers that the Boy Scouts of America are under attack. She is basically a Russian version of the ACLU.

Being young, upstanding, and bright does not make her right.

[feliciafan]

Why would an upstanding, young and bright woman discuss anything at all with this dimwitted idiot?

Great idea soyuz, drum into the skulls of children how to think from a young age instead of how to think. Who defines 'ideology' and who decides what 'ideology' is desirable in society? Stop living in the past.
