Where does the capitalism connection come from? Why would an "illiberal non-capitalist" society be any different?
Haven't you outright said before (and implied here) that education is nothing but the propaganda a society wants to push? I'm not entirely sure that's wrong, but don't see what liberal capitalism has to do with it. The only problem I link to capitalism is the standardized textbook which should have never been invented.
The Soviet Union revolutionized their education system, making it universal in a country that before that was mostly illiterate peasants. By the Cold War many people considered it one of the best examples of universal education in the world, and one of the big factors in them becoming a superpower.
Do you consider them liberal capitalists? Or would you say they just borrowed the idea?
I guess that is beside the point as you have explained how liberal capitalism is still the main problem. It's just that your vision of the current system is way outside my framework and would require a long essay to explain. To me capitalism is just synonymous with economics, which is a basic law of human nature.
I was just making a point about how this totalitarian society that was not thought of by anyone in the West as capitalist were the masters of universal education, but you already answered my question. I was editing the comment when you replied, but basically I think it would require a much longer essay then is appropriate here to explain your opposition to liberal capitalism and the alternative. Maybe some links to further reading would help.
