How Capitalism Did NOT Ruin Our Education: Sheep in the Box Refuted Part 1

This is a response and critique for How capitalism did not ruin our education in response to a video titled 'How (Neoliberal) Capitalism Ruined Your Education by @Sheep In The Box. I have refuted this argument and in this first part I cover the foundation of the argument.

Yet again, much like Joe Scott, Second Thought, Viki 1999 and a great many others, socialists love to spread erroneous claims such as claiming that we somehow live under a capitalist system today. One would need to be living in severe denial to ignore the fact we live under a mixed economy and are being disingenuous. You have to love the mentality, however, of socialists, not only ignoring this fact that it is a mixed economy but that socialism is present and the denial that socialism could have had anything to do with the problems we face today.

Much like sticking a stick between the spoke of your bike wheel when riding and going flying over the handlebars, it is not the fault of the bike for why you fall, no different to strangling capitalism half to death through all the "wonderful" socialism that is supposed to improve the economy, but it didn't, it progressively destroyed our education and economy.

As I've long argued, socialists do not want to take responsibility for their own actions, just like how they live in denial to what happened in the Holodomor or that socialism was the cause of Venezuela's economic woes, instead, they project the blame off elsewhere and it just so happens to be the United States of America is one of their favourite targets.

In this case, @Sheep In The Box being a leftist in Britain targeting Britain's past for the British Empire, he somehow thinks this makes the education system somehow capitalist. As I explain, this has nothing to do with capitalism. How capitalism did NOT ruin our education is that capitalism is about the free market economy, it's not about empire, imperialism, colonialism or even nationalism for that matter.

As I argue, the nationalist movement has been littered with collectivists and are actually anti-capitalist.
