Standing Up For Public Education

"In order to make higher education—and thereby entry into leading positions—
available to every able and industrious (person), the State must provide a thorough
restructuring of our entire public educational system. The courses of study at all
educational institutions are to be adjusted to meet the requirements of practical
life. Understanding of the concept of the State must be achieved through the
schools (teaching of civics) at the earliest age at which it can be grasped. We
demand the education at the public expense of specially gifted children of poor
parents, without regard to the latter’s position or occupation."

Our Socialist Paradise











Where our state hospitals

and state schools

are surely the envy of Sudan.

Yet I can’t help wondering if we’re doing enuff.

Because while we all understand of course, beyond question, that healing the sick and teaching the children are far, far too important to leave to wicked private enterprise with its evil profit motive and all that unseemly competing for your money (as opposed to just taking it like government does), what about food?

Yeah, that’s right, food. The right to be fed is just as fundamental and universal as the right to wage jihad or have a taxpayer-funded sex change. Read the Charter (cue: choir), you'll see.

Or ask a judge.

How can we accept that some of us are able to dine on steak and scallops (urp- oh, excuse me) while others must make do on mac and cheese?

You know, the late, lamented Soviet Union featured state production and distribution of food. The People’s Glorious System ensured the state-run GUM stores managed to provide quite a few potential patrons with a not-too-rancid fish and a barely half-rotten turnip. When available. They only needed to line up for a few hours a day.

And it was all very public sector, not a whiff of profit or competition - obviously chock full of Social Justice.

Tommy Douglas (cue: choir) would want us to do this (well, this and sterilizing subnormals), so clearly only a hate-filled, far-right extremist could disagree.

Over to you,

Comrade Dix.
