A short story by Creator/IraTabankin.
An old man tells his children about America, in the days before the U.N. conquest and wealth-redistribution, after they become curious about the technologies described and some police showed up to investigate when one of them said the dirty and dangerous word "America."
----
!! A History Lesson contains examples of:
* CommieLand: America in the present of the story.
* CrazySurvivalist: The father seems to have been one before, not that it helped. His wife continues to mock him for having stockpiled so much food and ammunition.
* ExpoSpeak: Especially noticeable in the children, who ask questions and answer them and make fun of their father for things he hasn't mentioned.
* FallenStatesOfAmerica: As seen by how America is only spoken of in the past tense, and the mere mention of the name led to a lesson in the [[PropagandaPiece unfortunate history]] of the U.S. and a witch-hunt investigation.
* HowWeGotHere: What the father is explaining.
* LostTechnology: Refrigeration, microwaves and washer/dryers have gone the way of the dinosaur, as have cell phones and cameras. Only government buildings even have electricity, a concept the father needs to explain to his children.
* UnitedNationsIsASuperpower: Their goons are everywhere, they conquered and disbanded America, and have apparently sworn to never again let a country go without paying it's fair share.
