Public/Private Space and Individual Rights

Right now, a big part of the population is fighting for a more equal distribution of that wealth. I think Chile is the country with the biggest inequality in the world, and with the most expensive education system. That's one big fuckedupness.

I just saw this story on Al Jazeera English..


Chile president berates students over protest
Sebastian Pinera tells students "nothing is free" as labour unions join protesters demanding educational reforms.

Of course nothing is free, but taxes should pay for education.

That's what these neoliberals don't want to understand.

I think you mean neoconservatives... who call themselves "classical liberals" or "libertarians", but have sort of missed the point of, say, Locke.

That all makes a whole lot of no sense.

Neocons may be big spenders, but they certainly don't claim to be. And most of their spending is on the military industrial complex. Libertarians are the only ones that understand "nothing is free." That's practically the mantra of the movement.
