Is it fine if I place an Islamic Rating on this? The disregard for democratic representation is astounding.

"Democracy is only good if you vote the way I want you to!"

assembling a bunch of like-minded academic intellectuals and giving them control over a country is how the soviet union came to be, and we all know how that turned out
meanwhile in america some actor named reagan got elected president, and the country still prospered and triumphed in the cold war, while the intellectual academic utopia in the east crumbled and collapsed unter the weight of its own mismanagement and inefficiency

The USSR wasn't led by "academic intellectuals ".

The USSR was led by thugs, terrorists, and con artists.

I distinctly remember that the Soviets were hailed as having "great" education--still are to this day, by commies at least. Of course, that's questionable, considering the fellow-traveler, useful-idiot bent of the news media to just buy Soviet propaganda without even questioning, but...

Time to sperg!
After the revolution, bolsheviks methodically destroyed the previous education system, and then became confronted with lack of specialists, so they were forced to re-hire those specialists and academics of czarist era who survived the new regime somehow and didn't run away.
So the Soviet education has become something thorough only after 50s, maybe. Then again, it's nice to have a government to pay for your degree, it's much less pleasant to be forced to work in a certain place after graduation, sent far away from home - and that is how the system worked, at least in theory.
Now we just have free university-level education, if we are smart enough to score high on exams, but from what I observed, the tendency is to cut government-provided slots to increase the amount of students paying for their education.

Adding to the post by @LeLLinne, Soviet higher education was heavily skewed towards STEM; anything related to humanities was heavily warped by Marxist-Leninist ideology and was turned pretty much into a joke. In general, careers in the engineering sphere were much more prestigious and well-paid back then, until the Soviet industry crashed and burned in the 1990s.

Also, a big part of the Politburo, especially in late USSR, were originally factory/mine/collective farm managers who then joined the CPSU and climbed the bureaucratic career ladder. In places like Soviet Belarus, a significant part of major communist leaders were WW2 partisan commanders, like First Secretary Pyotr Masherov.

American stereotypes about those academician commies don't really apply here.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Because that totally sounds like someone who will be a reliable witness and not at all biased as hell.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Because lawyers, let alone shady jew lawyers, have loyalty.

This is some pretty deep irony then considering the modern commies primarily compose of "intellectuals" who wouldn't or couldn't do the STEM or trades game and borderline illiterates who hate the idea of work.

it only cost him everything because the left will destroy anybody who shared the same air as Trump.

A more honest headline would be, “Being adjacent to Trump has made me a human piñata to shady people in power.”

And they want this same air of fear to carry over into the 2020 re-election campaign. Nobody wants to work for a temporary gig if it means they might lose everything afterwards.

Remembered something from Orwell, related to the leadership of revolts/revolutions (from The Road to Wigan Pier):

In Lissagaray’s History of the Commune there is an interesting passage describing the shootings that took place after the Commune had been suppressed. The authorities were shooting the ringleaders, and as they did not know who the ringleaders were, they were picking them out on the principle that those of better class would be the ringleaders. An officer walked down a line of prisoners, picking out likely-looking types. One man was shot because he was wearing a watch, another because he ‘had an intelligent face’. I should not like to be shot for having an intelligent face, but I do agree that in almost any revolt the leaders would tend to be people who could pronounce their aitches.

So, basically a lot like the West today?

I’m in onr of my Poli Sci classes today, and the teacher asks the class why we care about impeachment. One kid’s hand shoots up, and sounding like he’s about to have a crying fit says “Cause it’s one step closer to kicking Drumpf out of office!” I’ve never heard somebody actually use Drumpf in real life.

It really rustles my jimmies that the students with even moderately right wing views in these classes are scared to speak up, either for fear of being attacked by other students or fear of having their grade tanked by a professor, then have to sit and listen to speeches about how right wing voices are becoming more overpowering and dangerous in this country. The hypocrisy is outstanding.

That was exactly what happened to me during my sophomore year in high school during a honors contemporary history class. I criticized Obama's decision on how DACA won't give illegals citizenship yet they won't be deported. This kid I had accused me of being a racist because I would dare to criticize Obama. I told him what does racism have to do with shitty immigration executive orders and looked at me like I watched Fox News. Also keep in mind, he blamed Benghazi on Republicans in that class and Hillary and Obama didn't do anything wrong in his eyes.

TDS was in its early stages in 2012-2013.
