But most people I meet DON'T think society is exploitative or authoritarian, so education must be pretty important. Most middle class people think we live in a happy, free society where people just have to work and find nice opportunities. Most working class people I know don't question the social structures around them, but just want to be closer to the top in material terms - having HD tvs and cars and all that. Do you mean that if they were given more material things they would not mind the change in social structure? I think they would need first to understand that life is not necessarily about having more material goods, and that wealth does not make you a cooler or better person. I think consumerism is so entrenched in our culture now that it would take a lot to rearrange society.
