Might not be an entirely correct sub for this so apologies if so but I have an assessment coming up where we get to pick from an array of templates to make an essay out of and I saw one was “construct a persuasive essay that opposes a dominant ideology/perspective” so of course I launched at that and have been planning several potential topics, I initially thought of going full Marxist citations and persuasions of revolution however I do fear that expressing too radical or controversial of a message can result in either penalty from the school board or grade loss from implicit or subconscious bias from the teacher marking my assessment so I’m trying to think of leftist, particularly Marxist topics I can do without sounding like a Soviet propaganda poster. So far I’ve planned ideas such as “western democracy/the two party system is inherently autocratic”; “Cuba is the most democratic country in the west”; “The Israeli government uses antisemitism as a weapon for imperialism”. Any other ideas or topics would be appreciated, obviously I will only write on something I’m educated on so if it’s a less known issue or topic then feel free to cite any books to read or statistics so I can educate myself. And try to avoid extremely convoluted topics as it’s a sat essay that I have to write in the span of an hour so I can’t be spending half of my time just explaining the context. Cheers!
