i mean, it's easy enough to point out that the tories do very badly with educated people, so that it's in their interest to reduce the level of education in society - they don't want an educated population, because they thrive on low information voters.

but, if that's the goal then you have to have some way to sustain it - you have to house and feed these people that you're trying to keep out of the education system. it's expensive, as a tactic.

if you take away the ability to advance, and then take away the social safety net, the result is going to be mass failure, and dramatically increased levels of extreme poverty.

worse, this is happening in a reality where unskilled labour is being squeezed out - where there are less opportunities every year.

as an anarchist, i welcome the recruits. this is revolutionary potential. keep it coming. but, from a ruling class perspective, this is utter stupidity.
