Your high-school teacher lied, welcome to propoganda baybee. The only real factor missing from your college perspective is the economic: things were really secure and one person’s wages could comfortably cover house, food, and bills for a house of 5. Good luck doing that now.
I don’t know what surfaced this memory, but when I was in elementary school, they had us singing the shitty version of Solidarity Forever. The version with the railroads and shit. That was pretty propagand-y.
What is that version? I’d never heard Solidarity Forever until after I became a socialist.
