We once read a book called "Feed" in high school - a ham fisted anti-capitalist book. Wherein citizens are 100% connected to an internet like service that only exists to sell them products. 90% of the class couldnt get it. Even when the teacher sat down and explained the entire plot of the book they still couldnt wrap their head around it.

    Stuff like this is the foreseeable consequence of the radical defunding of US schools that has been going on for decades.

    The US wants to be number one at everything, the most powerful empire in history that projects power around the globe yet they can't help themselves to let the bourgeoisie strip the copper wiring out of the walls of the very institutions that is supposed to enable those imperial ambitions. Ultimately it will not be China or Russia or communism that ends US power, the evil empire will cannibalise itself and gradually collapse with no exterior interference.
