The article describes something more akin to communism than socialism. Socialism and capitalism are not mutually exclusive . The (fictitious) professor's class room already ran much like the United States does before the (fictitious) experiment, that is, everyone is guaranteed at least the same lesson (socialism) and what you do with that lesson to benefit yourself is up to you (capitalism). In reality and to follow the articles misguided analogy, most top universities curve (inflate) student grades much like the United States' overly capitalist system has established what is akin to corporate well-fair. In fact the U.S has gotten to the point where the only entities with rights are businesses and the wealthy - if you want rights and well-fair in the U.S. start a business its the only way. This is evidenced by the fact that only 2% of civilian legal issues in the U.S. ever see trial or legal mediation while the majority of all business legal situation get the full attention of the judiciary system. More social programs in the U.S. in the U.S. apply to businesses not people.
