Nope. Because the workers are idiots. Can't let them control anything. See Trump, Brexit, and populism. Elites must make the right decisions for them.

The public education system has ruined robbed the society of it's Independence.

Elites must make the right decisions for them.

That's why they created public education. To make you stupid and dependant.

Either way, socialism is worker control of the means of production. That's the literal definition.

It's actually an American concept. The public education system was created to rob is off our actual history, and replace it with nonsense.

The workers are the government and the government are the workers. Seriously, are you not familiar with your own system?

Except they're not actually equal, since workers are idiots. Hence elites have to take over and make the hard decisions. Government control, in the name of the workers.
