Why do most all citizens choose to quibble over the theatre of politics and the minutea of ineffective bandages while this massive issue is left untouched?
Because the range of "mainstream," permissible alternatives in any political system is defined in terms of what can be carried out while preserving essentially the same structure of power, by the people who are currently running things.
How is it that our education systems leave this fundamental misdesign out of the curriculum?
Because the main function of the educational system is to reproduce the kinds of human resources who are necessary to keep the present system, with its existing structure of power, going. That means taking the system, its goals and values, for granted. It definitely does not aim at inculcating an ability to critically examine the fundamental premises of the system. -- Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society http://c4ss.org Mutualist Blog: Free Market Anti-Capitalism http://mutualist.blogspot.com The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low-Overhead Manifesto http://homebrewindustrialrevolution.wordpress.com Organization Theory: A Libertarian Perspective http://mutualist.blogspot.com/2005/12/studies-in-anarchist-theory-of.html
