Relying On The Greedy, And Expecting The Impossible.

           Today in the UK, like most other countries, the people are complaining about the collapsing eduction system, teachers leaving in droves, lots off sick with stress, and the profession unable to recruit new staff. So the populace appeals to the powers that be, to sort it out, more funding, better conditions, etc. The same applies to the health service and other social services, it's all falling down. My analysis is that nothing will be done under the present system. In this profit driven world, production has rapidly improved in efficiency, no longer do they need labour intensive factories. So much of production is automated, we the labouring classes are, according to the capitalist system, becoming superfluous to requirements. The masters of the capitalist system, who control our world, the financial Mafia, and the corporate juggernauts, no longer require a large educated skilled workforce, so why bother educating the redundant masses, the middle and upper middle class, through their private education system, will supply enough skilled labour, the uneducated mob can fill the menial jobs on zero hours contracts and crap wages. So what if society descends into squabbling mobs fighting among themselves for the available crap jobs and lousy wages, if they accept that, then they will accept an inadequate health service. So what if it descends into mob rule with the ordinary people fighting each other, the powers that be would be happy with that, at least we would not be fighting the powerful and the wealthy. Of course the establishment will always have their surveillance and  militarised police to protect the powerful and the wealthy. Don't expect a profit driven system to care and provide for those it no longer needs.

         So if you are looking to see a decent education system, and a health service that serves the people, you will have to look at the destruction of the present economic system. Going with cap in hand to the lords of the profit world, and asking, could they please not take so much profit out of the system for their own personal use, and spend a bit more on us, you are going to be sadly disappointed. Only when we grasp the fact that capitalism cannot be reformed into a caring compassionate system, and it has to be totally demolished and replaced by a system based on the needs of all our people, only then will we be able to build a society that is fair, just and caring.
