Before reading this article I listened to my conservative " Red Eye Radio " aids to insomnia " explain " just how wonderful and rational capitalism is compared to " socialism " as if that were already a reality and a FAILURE everywhere on the planet.
We must realize that most of the well -educated middle class and upper middle class in capitalist America have sophisticated prejudice against the very idea of socialism - and they , in fact, feel threatened by the very idea of human EQUIALITY . For them it is enough that working class people have an equal opportunity to win the state lottery !
But one still wonders when they read such horror stories as " Ten Children Die in Chicago House Fire " is there no social conscience there to be pricked ?
Karl Marx said that the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. But THEIR ideas of " socialism " can have no other source than the bourgeois educational system.
The world in which our PROFESSORS are so comfortable is the best of all possible worlds ?
