    Class solidarity is essential.

    Without division and confusion among the working class, the oligarchy would crumble to dust.

    One of the most interesting things I’ve seen as I’ve gotten older is (good) stuff I thought could “never” happen is happening.

    This is cool.

    The people who fight hardest for vouchers are those who have to use shitty inner city schools. Maybe we should listen to them instead of patronisingly talking down to them about their needs.

      Those schools are not getting the support they need, that’s the problem. The people causing that problem are trying to sell you a solution that they can profit from.

      Vouchers, in that case, are a stopgap, not a solution. We need less stopgap and more solutions.
