Socialists Want Free Education?; this is misdirection

You know Ive been seeing all of the hoopla about students protesting for free university and began thinking.

Free education would never lead to socialism, which is why opponents to free education have socialists speaking in favor of it. It doesn't matter whome the mouthpiece is or what they think or believe. They are a contractor who is saying what they are supposed to in exchange for a fee. This guy probably paid for an education involving speech and politics, which he would have never gotten in a socialist society where you work for free your whole life.

As a petitioner I am well familiar with this concept. Every year I must endure fellow petitioners crowding my space who are being paid $5 per registered republican. And over here is another contractor who is being paid $3.75 per signature on a petition which will destroy the local environment for sure. I look down at my petitions and only two are even paying. I get about $1 per signature on a good streak, maybe $2. A lot of times I get only $.50 or $.25. But good petitions get more signatures. You can't get anyone to sighn those evil ones, and I still haven't been able to convince anyone that republicans have any good qualities.

Now it is so-called "Socialists" taking up the flag for free education? Free education is already what we have...duh. It is terrible. If you ever wanted to pay a tax, it is the one that pays the schoolteacher's salary so your kids can be smart. I dont think its in the cards for me but if I ever had an infant I would begin making yearly donations to the schools I planned to send them to. Especially their high school. It would make sense.

Yet the idea of free university-level education is in intriguing. you would not rather attend a state college as opposed to a private university if you are interested in a good education. But state colleges aren't even free. Whats with that; I see some potential here? It all comes down to the values of the people who send their kids to the school. What is being taught for free? And what knowledge must be paid for? State schools require classes in the history of the state it is in usually. A whole state cannot have the same opinion about what to teach the young.


i love you all as i love myself
