(1) So when where there better times in your reality? Again, I maintain that never in the history of mankind did anyone have better access to both material (books, articles), and curricula (e.g. from open courses, MIT courseware, Coursera, Udemy, etc). It's all available, it's up to you to use it. (2) >Socialism isn't a project for building socialist 'nations'. It very much is, though. >Capitalist borders only exist for the propertied class to control their capital. Socialist borders, on the other hand, exist to keep their own people within, with minefields, guard towers, self shooting devices, etc. We tried socialism, it doesn't work, and the outcome is often dehumanizing and horrible. I suggest you visit a border museum of the former East-Germany West-Germany border.
