To remind you Comrade, the party line is that, all things being equal, it’s
moral for social patterns (such as a government) to financially support
intellectual patterns (i.e. the university curriculum). It’s only immoral when a
government attempts to control an intellectually orientated curriculum.
The thing is, socialist societies aren't generally very exciting. The
exciting nature of capitalism inspires people to really utilize their Intellectual
Level. If inspired, they WILL find a way to get exactly the kind of education
they want (not the kind society tells them they should want). They will use
their brains. And yes, in ways that help every one. See, capitalists *want* the
fruit of their intellectual level to be of use to everyone for a very high
quality reason: more people will buy it! And then perhaps employ people to
manufacture it, etc. Ultimately the problem with socialism is that they think dumb
people are morally obligated to do all the real work for smart people (who need
to spend all their time thinking, rather than working). That's moral right?
Stupid people should work, smart people should think.
