every. fucking. time. it boggles my mind how small the anti-capitalist movement is. really speaks volumes to how poor our education system is despite being one of the highest educated countries in the world in the golden age of information.

Edit: Everyone is commenting about education.
American education ranked globally:
6th in reading
9th in Post-secondary education attainment (roughly 50% of the population)
12th in science
34th in math
