Is it implicit? Or are you just searching for your strawman?
Because I’ve taken a similar course to one you listed, and it was never implicit…

Which college, and which classes?
Well, you also hear it from people who don’t want to admit the US has an issue with systemic white supremacy.
If you have evidence of the contrary, I’d be happy to see it.
I’m assuming it’s still as accurate as the data previously showed, and because I’m an active editor there, who works quite hard to ensure what I edit is reliably sourced.
Quite possibly. Depending on how loud and active you are about it.
A shit sandwich and diarrhea soup are different.
But, no matter what, you’re eating shit.
The Nazis built the autobahn, but we don’t cheer for the Nazis.
Like we shouldn’t be cheering on any state, just because of the good.
Yes, I include the US, China, Russia, and all the other states that have committed untold evil on humanity, even if they all also did something good.
How could you achieve communism or socialism without authoritarianism?
Same way the Neozapatistas have done? By actually showing your system is better, and letting people join your movement. And allow them to leave, if they desire.
Are they better, though?
I mean, last I checked, Wikipedia is far more accurate than most encyclopedias professionally assembled. And, to add to it: Wikipedia is certainly well sourced, and admits its biases quite openly, and in fact are working to correct those biases.
So, what Chinese-based wikipedia alternatives are out there? And I mean, communally owned, maintained, and edited encyclopedia, which, quite frankly, is one of the best examples of a communist endeavors one can find on the internet at this time…
I prefer hearing about it from Marxists far closer to the source, and using China’s own information they publish:

we have child labor in the US too. It’s not legal
A lot of child labor in the US, is in fact, very legal.
From the age of 10-15, working papers can be issued allowing children to deliver newspaper, hawk products on corners, and do limited farm work.
From 15-17, working papers can be issues allowing children to pretty much do any job, with some limitations on hours, and tooling they can use (ie, no automatic sharp tools, like slicers).
Now, these are for my state. Some states are far more exploitative, such as Georgia, where kids as young as 13 can work a fast food joint.
“And our tests have concluded, that this is, in fact, a lie.”
You mean how both China, and the US propagandize their citizens? Yeah, I’m fully aware of that already. All states will do it, as a system of control over the working class, in order to continue to exploit them.
I mean, if controlling the people wasn’t the goal, whats the purpose of the oppression of a state?
If I have bad credit in the US, I don’t get locked out of riding the bus
You might!
I know a lot of areas are switching to digital-only bus fares, and those, of course, require a bank card or credit card…
Guess what can lock you out of getting those, and thereby, riding on the bus?
There’s also no credit-score check in the US for job applications, so no, it doesn’t “lock people out of finding work.”
Do you live in the US? Lots of employers run credit checks as a part of their normal background checking. I’ve see people fired for bad credit scores.
It’s too bad the people of China aren’t allowed to edit Wikipedia, and correct the facts, because of their oppressive state.
People of the US and China are both unsure of what to believe about the other, because both are so propagandized lol
So, it’s just feels, then, that makes you think the idea is implicit, while never having been explicit, and even when people tell you it’s factually just not accurate?
The people who tend to feel this way, are also the ones who tend to blame climate change is caused by DEI…
