Any other teachers here?
How are you subtly leftying your students?
I TA now but used to teach middle/high school. I would have them look up things like surplus value and many were smart enough to parse out the ridiculousness of capitalism themselves

Obligatory.
I TA as well, I don't really drop any greenpills or whatever the fuck you wanna call them. But I also teach biology classes so its kind of hard, since it's so irrelevant. And its hard to tell people to read Karl Marx or tell them you are a communist.
I TA history so its really easy to sneak in anti capitalism and assign reading by gommunists. but then i have to deal sometimes with screeching engineering majors who will come into my discussions ranting about cultural marxism.

Not a teacher, but my sixth grade teacher covertly taught us about internationalism and guerrilla warfare.

(paraphrased of course).
For the latter alone, I find trying to teach kids politics to be a bit of a very dark gray area. Not something I'd like to do, if I were a teacher. Teenagers and adults are a completely different story.
