(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

Why? I don’t see the logic of that at all. Capitalism thrived without centralized education for years. Mercantilism is an entirely separate idea, though a very successful one in current action.

You’re mistaking the outgrowth of mercantilism into early stage capitalism (industrial age) with the logic of late capitalism, which has superseded that era.

“Late Capitalism” uses education as an IQ test (better done with an actual IQ test). The main point of the education system is propaganda.

Yes but you are suggesting rolling back political systems and economic systems. I am only suggesting we are undertaking the political equivalent of a kind of science fiction. So we have to think of an alternative to current capitalistic trends and exploitation for that, too.
