Oh this has nothing to do with leftism, rightism or blame shallow child, this is the reality of the cancerous Billionaire class. They have funded an entire ecosystem that diminishes education and gets everyone to go at one anothers throat while they turn a new generation into an ignorant subservient class of economic slaves. I don't care what system it is it's just observable.
In reality, in our current education dynamic, if most knew anything about Smith and Marks they'd know that both were seeing a common problem, industrialization. The O.G. of tech revolution.
Both economic philosophies where trying to find a way through this new paradigm shift, tech industrial, 1.0. In reality both were more complimentary than antagonistic in their philosophy about dealing with two other paradigm shifts, gentry democracy and work force worth. Which were all echo's of thieves, Barron's and serfs. We, the People are still captive to that mental war.
That is OUR problem.
Sadly today, folks like for example, you are sadly too 'uneducated' ironically to recall the interconnections between the two economic philosophies or analytically understand why it's playing out so unconsciously. You're just at the waters edge because a friend who's a teacher at a college told you shits getting worse, lol... today.
I was hearing that same shit from close professors 30 years ago. Nothings changed, it's the downward spiral trajectory of the post Reagan, 'Greed is Good' call of thieves in 81.
Nothings changed and your are duped. The Robber barons won because you too think you can win the billionaire lottery against the trust fund connected.
just stop.
