Bad moment from Trump.
Well, I was being glib because you want the education system eradicated by a despot. So it would have to be replaced by a ‘reeducation’ system, i.e. I was snarkily calling your proposal fascist. Unless there should be no education system at all. Hence someone like DeVos.

Ending the public education system is the policy goal closest to my heart.

-
What do you see as its replacement, if you can generalize the idea in a tweet?
-
Child labor.
-
(Not the factory type, more like apprenticeships)
-
That seems to deny a basic fact about capitalism. You seem to be calling for a return to mercantilism. Guilds and artisanry have largely been surpassed in most areas. Capitalistic apprenticeship would seem to require a Brave New World pre-programmed/no-free-choice attitude
-
Huh? You don’t need a guild to have apprenticeship. I would be disappointed in myself if my children can’t earn $30 an hour by the time they are 18.
-
Capitalism certainly doesn’t require a centralized education system.
-
Yes, I agree with that. But to argue aprenticeships can be suitable in the context of late-logic capitalism is farfetched. So, with your American Monarchy, to revert to successful utilitarian application of apprenticeships, capitalism needs to slide back into mercantilism
