Are you sure you aren’t describing America’s education system?

If you want to play with AI slop, maybe log off lemmy and start doing this on your own… Not a single source cited.

Could I leave my job at the factory to go to university?

Yes… as is evidenced by an entirely free education program.

If you’re making the claim that “factory workers of the USSR had no freedom to go to college”, then supply some evidence please. Stop beating around the bush.

Higher education was free in the USSR as stipulated by its constitution.

You say “perfection”. What I think you meant to say was “principled anti capitalism”.

I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking for literally any semblance of solidarity or anticapitalism.

Regardless, until a truly anti capitalist party gains power, the devolution into fascism will continue.

In 30 years, when the choice is between a dem who wants 15 genocides and a Republican who wants 16, yall will still be bleating this tired ass “perfection as an enemy of good” motto. Think of a new one, please. Or even try to start defining what your idea of “perfection” actually is.

It is from this standpoint that the World Socialist Web Site has exposed the fraudulent “Fighting Oligarchy” campaign mounted by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The large turnouts at their rallies, as well as the huge participation in the April 5 and April 19 protests against the Trump administration, express the social anger among millions of working people and their desire to fight back. But Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez never indict capitalism as a system or call for a struggle against it. And they supported and hailed the Biden administration even as it was presiding over the greatest-ever accumulation of wealth on the part of the financial aristocracy.

For all their fulminations against the oligarchy, they carefully avoid advancing any demand that would deprive the billionaires of their ill-gotten riches. They pretend that society can be changed without a drastic redistribution of wealth, which requires the expropriation of the billionaires.

The argument is right there in the article.

Tldr: critiquing the system only insofar as to not question capitalism.

You can repeat “smoke and mirrors” as many times as you want. Doesn’t change that the two cops treated me VERY differently. Doesn’t change that one cop gave me an assurance of a plea deal when the other one basically told me I’d be locked up forever. Doesn’t change that one slammed my face into the table when the other got me cool glass of water. Doesn’t change that one lied about my actions and assumed my guilt, and the other took the time to hear me out on my story.

There are so many examples of the cops not treating me the same that there’s no other way to look at your opinion than as ignorant to the extreme.
