3. Making it difficult for 70% of this society to go to college is one reason this wasn't common

knowledge enough for the public to oppose more virulently the neoliberal 'ideas' of the 1% promoted by Reagan and Thatcher. Had the percentage of college exposure been reversed so that 70% of us had been to college, Marx and Gramsci would have immediately informed a public better intellectually equipped to nip these parasitic weeds in the bud.

And the porn industry would've been better regulated, elections wouldn't have been digitally stolen, the contract on America and Glass-Steagall wouldn't have flown, and Clinton's DLC would have had more Chomsky progressives nipping at the president's heels.

I like this class. Her analysis for the fragmenting of this society and women's solidarity within it are fair.
