In German the term Lernfabriken was pretty common as half a critique. Literally -learning-factory.
However around 2000 the US and other places implemented factories for students and workers to learn their job and took the term Lernfabrik and used it to describe their industrialized human resources skill teaching scheme.
So now it is this hybrid on one hand being taken out of its school context and its critique and on the other there is literally a learning factory in the productive sphere.
If I'd actually read the text properly, I'd come up with some link between that phrase and Deleuze's idea about societies of control, as it talks about how adults have been infantilised. I haven't tho because I have the attention span of a goldfish lol
Edit: Alright I've read it, and it doesn't specifically mention infatilisation anywhere, but you could make the arguement for it. Additionally, the idea of a "Learning Factory" seems to pre-empt the entire concept of a Control Society by over 100 years, so well done Marx; he may not have forseen how schooling has begun to carry on into adulthood, though.
"teaching factory" is actually a pretty good phrase

Lenin: Every revolutionary etc. etc.
This reminds me of how think tanks are much more appropriately called Denkfabriken in German (thought factories)
