You know, forgiving student debt isn’t just about erasing debt.
It’s admitting college, a necessary function of open society, has been captured for perverse profit and opening the door to reform.
It’s a massive, desperately needed, stimulus that costs literally nothing.

Forgiving college debt is the first step in a needed confession that the economic changes of globalism created a captive class who were held hostage by profiteers and that did real and lasting damage to not just the debtors but the people who didn’t go and the country as a whole.
One of the steps to fixing this fascistic crisis is to reckon with the intentional divide between the college educated and those who couldn’t afford it. We need to vanquish this debt, admit it was a massive profit scheme, and begin the process of opening up education.
And if you read calls for student debt relief and wonder “what’s in it for me?”
First of all, grow up. Reforms can help others.
Second, this economy, which affects you, needs it. Badly.
Finally, education reform is one of the lynchpins to fighting fascism in this country.

One more fact: student debt is a wonderful tool of exploitation. It gives employers unprecedented leverage, ensures people get paid less, accept more labor, won’t leave a job, won’t trouble for reform, and won’t try and innovate a competitor business.
It’s a weapon.
It’s a weapon.
