2. Not in the US. The US is very low in education. Even Cuba beats the US in education and results. You can spend all the money in the world but money doesn't mean results. Standardize testing has $#@!ed it up so bad. Where I'm from in the south of the US we're the dumbest people around.
3.. Sigh. Communism is NOT liberalism. And in Communism all the sub groups talk about a very strong separation of church and state. There is no core with religion period. Marx was very much against it. Have you not read a single thing from the man? This is very basic knowledge of Marx most people know about and why Communists are always assumed to be atheists when it's not true for everyone who is in the group.

5. No, they don't.
