This is not a well developed take from me, but I think that Amerikkka is doomed to fascism because of the abundance of petit bourgeois people, bourgeois centred attitudes, and settler history and mentality. I'm sure that illiteracy is a part of it, but IMHO it's not in the top 5. I'm worried that this might be ableist, but I'm not exactly sure.
After their revolutions China and Cuba both made major reforms and have some of the highest literacy rates in the world.
I don't know what the literacy rates were for revolutionary Cuba, Russia, or China, but I'm willing to bet they weren't great. Something tells me Batista and the Czars were not running efficient public education systems.

More like classist, as illiteracy and poverty tend to go hand in hand
