Right here’s an article during which billionaire enterprise capitalist Peter Thiel expresses his concern concerning the coming era, i.e., that they’re vulnerable to change into communists.
In all honesty, I’ve haven’t been following Thiel too carefully. At one level maybe 25 years in the past, he was providing to pay younger individuals handsomely ($20K?) if they might do the rest of their lives however go to school.
What to make of that? I all the time thought it meant that, as a prototypical capitalist, he thought that ours can be a greater nation if our kids weren’t uncovered to liberal considering, and that they went headlong into the office.
Right here, nonetheless, he appears to be saying the alternative. “In the event you proletarianize the younger individuals, you shouldn’t be stunned in the event that they finally change into communists,” he defined. I suppose it’s attainable that he doesn’t know what a “proletariat” is, i.e., a member of the working class, as described underneath Marxism.
What do you count on uneducated younger individuals to change into? Medical doctors? Astronomers? Pulitzer Prize-winning authors? No, sorry, that gained’t work. They’ll’t do algebra, let alongside superior biochemistry or physics. They’ll barely learn. They can, however, mow lawns, flip burgers, choose crops, bus tables, or attend (the ever-diminishing provide of) money registers.
You don’t need communists, and also you don’t need affluence. What do you need?
