"Meritocratic Education and Social Worthlessness ... launches an unflinching attack on schooling, which it judges to be deeply flawed. The argument is straightforward: in capitalist societies, educational institutions and educationalists alike have become wrapped up in a system of coercion. The objective they serve is to generate a sense of social worthlessness in the subjugated majority. This systematic erosion of personal esteem is designed to acclimatise the children of the masses to the objective conditions of their oppression." - British Journal of Educational Studies
