The Future of Education and, thus, of Humanity and This Planet

 The present state of the University's Colleges and Schools is a symptom of the way in which fascism and particularly Nazism has now taken over in the UK.

If I may introduce this through a series of anecdotes from my own life. In 1969. I was blessed to go to the University of Bristol. To study chemistry

Thirty years beforehand my dad had at Saint Agnes Primary School in Woolworths. Passed a scholarship exam and gained a place at Westminster school from where he would have gone to University. However, at that time his parents probably quite rightly said that he should go to a trade school rather than go to Westminster School.

It's a grieving harm to me that that decision probably cost him his life. 40 years 50 years later in 1978 at the age of 57 when I was just about to start my PhD at University College, London. Prior to that. I had been a school teacher in southeast London and North West Kent initially as the chemistry teacher at charterhouse secondary modern school for boys finally as head of chemistry at a co-educational. Comprehensive Elton green In South East London

I left that teaching career partly because I could see that the economy even then a year before the election of Margaret Thatcher's conservative government in 1979 was in serious trouble. This was reinforced by An approach by one of my sixth form students. His dad was a postman. He asked me if he thought it would be sensible for him to go to university. I asked him what he proposed to study. He said Aeronautical Engineering. I said well, why are you asking when certainly your eye level possibilities are good enough to go to university. He said that he had been offered a job by a local engineering firm Mullins, which is now closed which made machinery for making cigarettes. I said to him that if he went to University, he should not think that when he came out they would be a job waiting for him. Remember, this is a year before the Thatcher LED Onslaught upon our economy in the United Kingdom. I also said that if he didn't go to university then he would regret it for the whole of his life. I went off to University College London. He I think went off to University.

Incidentally my very first teaching job at charterhouse secretary modern school for boys. Was to teach chemistry a level two two boys who had successfully got themselves through an O-level pass. Two Start to study a levels that at the school.

When I left that school, they were just about to go off to University Willie and cam both I think went off to study chemistry. Of course, I have lost touch with all of these my previous students and I hope that they are lives thrive. Of course at the moment. In this Nazi conservative State called the United Kingdom. The chances of anyone thriving is to all intents and purposes Neil.

This government has created a catastrophe of worse than biblical proportions.

It was led into this catastrophe. By the imposition of SATs and of the national curriculum in schools by the demolition of

State funding for universities The abolition effectively of adult education

And the Prophet ization of the entire economy This has meant that what were universities are now mono diversities. In other words. They are simply capitalist organizations, which rely upon funding from Industrial in other words capitalist organizations firms.

To fund their research

In addition when I went to Bristol in 1979 1969

My education was part paid for by a student grant. My dad like his parents worked in the print and so my parents were required to pay part of my maintenance costs at Bristol.

But doubtless was the reason why his parents who both worked in the print. I advised him to go to bolt Court trade school just off Fleet Street and then into the print he worked at the financial times in the production side as a Process engraver So what's all this got to do with the state of the mon over settees the colleges and the schools in the UK and in particular our labor campaign for free speech. The simple answer is that fascism Nazism destroys all freedoms. To associate To communicate To protest and propose And in the University Academy this Nazism

Abolishes all-academic rights, too. Freedom of inquiry freedom of publication freedom of speech as to the results found and the freedom to dissent from the popular view, which as we know throughout history has been

Evolved through descent based upon evidence

In the case of my own area of Academic love and inquiry One example of this is the overturning of the theory of phlogiston. Which Theory suggested that when a fuel was burnt. I material called phlogiston. Was released into the atmosphere. The work of Joseph Priestley

Love YCA and others Showed that indeed in combustion as in respiration a material was Combined within the fuel itself from the atmosphere in other words 180 degrees opposite to the phlogiston idea that something was released. That's Change in our understanding led to our modern world through the works of Lavoisier Dolson the 19th century chemists and so on.

It's 20th century equivalent was the area of inquiry called physical organic chemistry.

The foremost proponents of physical organic chemistry were at University College, London. Led by Christopher ingold whose book mechanism in organic chemistry is the basis for the modern world.

Accordingly my PhD means that in as it were. Genetic terms I am the grandson of Christopher ingold. His immediate PhD students included all in Davis with whom I worked until funding for physical organic chemistry came to an end in the 1980s. And I did my PhD with John Bloodworth who himself had done his Ph.D with Alwyn dobis.

Worldwide Government funding for physical organic chemistry Which is the enquiry into the way the entire universe works including the way in which human beings work? Including the way in which wealth is created pollution is created and wealth is distributed was finally brought to an end in the mid-1990s. That meant that I and my fiscal organic chemistry colleagues.

Were unemployed in my case for 22 years.

However The basis of my University education both undergraduate and then post graduate and postdoctoral and then as a temporary lecture at your UCL.

I meant that I was given the joy of developing my sense of analysis critical thinking writing and commentary.

All of those are now dead in the water.

The educational system because it denies freedom of enquiry freedom of publication freedom of teaching freedom of speaking freedom to dissent. Is now not within the academy. The mon over cities have become simply ways in which debt is loaded upon the younger generation. I find it astonishing that they can cope with this burden a burden which is simply produced by the operation of the fractional Reserve banking system within capitalism. And a mechanism by which the entire population of the worked class, not the working class.

Is emitter ated? That immiseration Of course includes every other individual they they the capitalist families themselves or their praetorian guard. In other words the two percent the 10% and us the 88 percent the solution to all of this of course is our plan for Cooperative socialism. Because that plan freeze every individual. To determine their contribution to the common good.

It provides a living income for everyone. So that a true College can be formed not as a catalyst institution, but as self-funded or rather Community funded. Students and teachers

This possibility is undoubtedly the correct solution. I say that because over 25 years. We have tried to engage even what I call the fake left and the hobby protesters in examining this proposal. They will not. Very few Of those in positions of power within the so-called left will even remotely examine this plan for Cooperative socialism. And yet when it is examined it is found even in computer simulations to be the answer

Our labor campaign for free speech Invites all academic individuals being they from the teaching side of the academy professors lecturers readers and so on and students along with their parents families and communities which ultimately are those that bear the burden of the interest-based. Fascism called capitalism To examine this particular proposal for True socialism using the plan for Cooperative socialism. I invite all comments and contributions not in money terms. I I'm entirely self funded at the most modest level. But rather contributions as to how we can achieve this peaceful transition from the barbarity called capitalism into a peaceful world of true Cooperative socialism. Thank you.
