Communism doesn’t draw most of its adherents from the downtrodden lower classes, but rather from unemployed and resentful college graduates. Who knew? From Peter St Onge at peterstonge.com:
College grads are turning into communists.
Angry communists.
The reason is simple: College grads are losing their elite status. And the more educated they are, the harder the fall.
College and the Elite
There was a time going to college was a guaranteed ticket to the middle-class.
Those days are gone thanks to a combination of too many people going to college — 38% of Americans now have a college degree, up from 21% in 1980.
Meanwhile, most choose majors of questionable utility — liberal arts, psychology, gender studies — that are now collapsing between cuts to government grants, Trump’s war on DEI, and the coming AI tsunami on cubicle jobs.
As a result, while the college wage premium nearly doubled between 1980 and 2000, since then it’s been crawling down to the point that almost a third of undergrad degrees — and almost half of masters programs — actually lose money.
As in you spent more on tuition and 4 years of lost wages than you got in pay.
The New Man workers (no ownership) utopia?
To each according to his EBT/UBI.
Don’t get too greedy, property is theft.
Be like all smart n’ stuff.
