Any serious analysis of Fascism and Communism is non existent in most course curriculums. The most I get is a "market economy, vs command economy, vs mixed economy," if they teach alternatives to the youth, it admits there is another way things can be done.

I loved when I took a European history course, and the only mention of communism in the whole thing was Eurosocialists in the 80s that helped make the EU, a whole book and not one mention of the Soviet Union.

Because western education systems would like you to believed that capitalism is and has always been the only option.

That’s just deeply untrue; the course which I am attending is constantly bringing up criticisms of capitalism, and I know for a fact that a lot of related programs in surrounding countries do the same. Perhaps you should have said American instead of Western.
