It’s based on high school curriculum. I might one day get students to do jetpunk quizzes for review, but I’ll probably get rid of that high school part of the quiz name eventually.

Lmao. China under the far right regime of Chiang Kai-Shek wasn't totalitarian? But Stalin was? And what's with the characterization of Stalin's government as "communist"? It was socialist, as according to Leninist theory, socialism is the transitionary period from capitalism to communism, while communism is a state of complete statelessness, moneylessness, and classlessness. If this is U.S. high school curriculum, then the U.S. is doomed.

I’m not American, and no one cares about your politics. Hush, child, you’re writing paragraphs on a non-featured quiz. Listen to others’ points of view, not just the CCP. It’ll make you smarter.
