So we're doomed to serfdom....
No, but unfortunately the Tree of Liberty may need to be refreshed.
I read a piece a few years back, I think on the goals of the Frankfurt School. One of the goals was to use the education system as a way of selecting who would be allowed to be in charge of anything. Mandate higher education, and all in leadership would have to pass through their system of checks to be authorized to have power. The lower levels of government could be led by people with higher degrees from common state universities, but the highest levels would have to go through their selected schools and basically be vetted. It appears that is what has happened.
There is no real reason for a US military General to go get a Masters degree at Yale in Economics, but that's the kind of shit they do if they want to be on the Joint Chiefs. I looked up all the members of the Fed and as I remember, since its start there has only been one non Ivy league member on the board.
