    I mean, they need both. Education is for learning about the world around them, such as how a compass works, or modern economics (Marxist economics with cybernetics). Yes, they definitely need that as evidenced by this OP. But reeducation is for unlearning the capitalist propaganda they’ve been boiling in their entire lives. From US exceptionalism and white supremacy to capitalist realism and the “necessity of competition,” with all kinds of other shit in between. Education and re-education serve different purposes. Both are going to be greatly needed.
