Beware of Free College Offered on a Sharp Knife
- Sounds pretty cool today, but what happens when soft tyranny hardens?

Something for America’s new indoctrinated youth to keep in mind about Marxist Socialism is that the authorities keep files on each child from birth to death. So, the free "education" they will be receiving is according to their obedience and unconditional loyalty to the regime at all times. Some of their duty is to report what their parents and friends say in private that shows of political "deviation." No dissent is allowed and they punish the citizens who disagree. Depending on this loyalty you can have access to a university or college after high school, but they cannot chose their career.
For example, if the regime needs teachers, that's the ONLY option. If they need doctors, engineers, architects, mechanics, or other professions, free education is in accordance with the needs of the regime ONLY. After graduation, the regime sends them to places far away where they are obligated to serve for a numbers of years. They cannot change jobs unless the regime decides to transfer them to another location. They cannot chose where they want to live; they live ONLY where the regime places them. Vacations are designated by the regime and awarded in accordance with the conduct of the employee at work. Everything in life is in accordance with your conduct, because everything is political in Marxist Socialist regimes.
However, the children of the ruling elite have special schools separated from the regular citizens, plus other benefits not available to the rest of the population, like free healthcare which is very good for the ruling elite but lousy for the rest of the population. So much for "equity," equality” and "social justice". That's a BIG LIE they use to hook people into Marxist Socialist doctrine. They are masters of deception.
Food and clothing in reality are what the regime allows. Like in Cuba, we were eating elbow macaroni for lunch and dinners for almost a year. There was nothing else to eat. The food was rationed as well as clothing and other items of personal use. Toilet paper? Forget about toilet paper!
I am not enumerating all the inconveniences I suffered in communist Cuba because it would take volumes.
So you, the new indoctrinated youth of America, are exchanging all your freedoms and ability to think for yourselves for a highly regulated and dictatorial existence without a future.
