Historically, the goal of education was to have a productive labor force. And even if our education system was to teach independence, it cannot deliver the ability, that comes from economic and social liberation.

My point is that we haven't had good candidates as evidence by their losing. When we actually do have a good candidate that wins we are suddenly the idealists that aren't practical, as if winning power (in spite of both political establishments) is something other than an act of pragmatism.
I think that downplays how good of a candidate Mamdani was and how differently he ran his campaign. It also blinds us to new lessons.
As long as we're paying attention to those who can imagine a different future, then we're at the same table.
I think we overemphasize education and should talk more about people's ability to act and think independently.
There was also Carter using Taft-Hartley to shut down the coal strike.
What will the Democratic leadership learn from Mamdani's win?
It's not that the public forgot, but that leadership failed to offer an alternative other than "not Trump". When the Democrats do offer an alternative like Mamdani, people show up. And 80% of those that showed up voted for him, not against the other candidate. Not even Obama accomplished that.
Gotta blame the voters for having bad candidates. Mamdani has shown us that having a better candidate is a better strategy than whatever this is.
Gotta show up to the antifa meetings to hear those
Hmm, seems you're right and I need to find how better to handle triggers. Thanks for responding in a level headed manner.
Sounds like something the CEO of Nestle would say.
Education doesn't make people act independently, often to the contrary.
