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.
