        1/Alright, so folks wanted me to expand on this idea, so here we go. Elite disaffection and the return of the American Left. As you may have noticed, we're seeing an upsurge in young Americans who reject capitalism.

        The market establishes real values of degrees within reason. To pay 200k for a degree that the free market is telling u is worth way less is ridiculous.

        The funniest thing is every teacher and professional already in the industry Ive listened to has said a degree for this kind of job is worthless, only the portfolio matters and thats something you can work on yourself without the debt.

        Your idea of frustrated elites is interesting. It reminds me of Jack Goldstone's 1991 book on historical state breakdowns. My only issue is that it discounts other possibilities. The Cold War was over when they were born -- socialism didn't mean connivance...

        Also, they (largely) like Obama, Obama was constantly (and unfairly) called a socialist, so they have learned to dismiss the stigma.

        My daughters are in the same boat. Degrees (Law) from east coast schools and making peanuts and worried about loan defaults. Socialist thought verrry attractive to this generation

        Only $20k in debt? The art school I went to cost $35k/year. She got off easy

        I would say upper-middle class. I wouldn't expect elites to be worried about debt. Much less $20k of it.

        This is always the way. Bernardo O'Higgins was a Chilean revolutionary. This is frequently the way revolutions happen.
