Having recently left the academic sanctum - with astronomic debts and tiny prospects of finding work, I have some thoughts on the subject. Tutition fees and student debt is necessary. Not to pay for education, but to keep the pecunary mindset in place in an expanding population that - for most of their lifes - are redundent to production and labourmarket relations. Student revolts in the 60's was possible thanks to stundents not beeing mindlocked by debt and insecurity in future employment. Had the financial security remained with todays increase om proportion of students, social stability would have been in trouble. Instead students are disciplined by fear of indebted unemployment and promises of entering the middle class. When those hopes are finally frustrated, things will start to happen. From what I know, radicals in muslim third world countries (where the false promises have been proved wrong much quicker) are often disappointed and redundant ex-students. Question is, how can frustration be channeled into a positive force against capitalism, and not destructively into fascism or religious fanatism? /Johan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
