“Pol Pot was right” is a new one for sure.
The only thing that transfers is obedience to the above and elitism to the below
Says the ML, whose ideology includes obedience to the above (resulting in elitism to the below) as a core tenet.
I’d argue that the most valuable things I learned in engineering school were problem solving and teamwork. I think this person is just a dick who went through school all wrong.
Yeah that and that the system was rigged and didn’t care about the worker’s suffering if you can’t explain why it’s bad in dollar amounts.
Yeah ergonomics class helped radicalize me.
Tho (in my opinion) this is a fair point about school system. it could be updated to be better, but nobody cares.
… And here I was thinking lobotomy was illegal yet this person is a proud demonstration of one.
I mean, the first paragraph is an interesting hypothesis. As most thing I believe it’s an inertia thing, as long standing institutions, especially appealing to traditional mindset, tend to lean elitist and classist. So, not really planned, just turned out that way.
Then they mention Pol Pot and the whole discussion goes out the window.
Godwin’s Law, I know, but one of the first thing nazis did in occupied Poland, after establishing their governance was round up Jagiellonian Uni professors and sent them to a concentration camp. Not because they were enemies of the proletariat, but because they were perceived as a threat to exploitation.
In post-war people’s republic you couldn’t get higher education if you came from educated city households. To lift up workers and farmers? No, to make sure newly well educated engineers and cultural elites were loyal to the party line, and to break any ties to old ways of thinking.
I do see the irony of ranting in a trolljerk community thread.
You can go and talk about the monstrosities Pol pot commited and this tankie dumbasses will come and ask for proof
