The education system is merely a statist indoctrination system.

If you studied economics in the West you probably studied Paul Samuelson’s “Economics”. Samuelson, a socialist sympathiser, kept pushing the idea that the Soviet Union would overtake the US economy through multiple iterations of his textbook which proclaimed

“The Soviet economy is proof that, contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, a socialist command economy can function and even thrive.”

Samuelson simply pushed back the date in subsequent editions and never addressed his incorrect predictions, removing this nonsense 30+ years after it first appeared in his textbook without comment.

When you’re learning literal falsehoods that serve the statist ideology, how are you not being indoctrinated?

What else were you taught that upon reflection was mere indoctrination?
