Teach the young of society’s injustices

-

BRITAIN is a union of nations which were ruled by feudalism for 900 years until men made hugely wealthy by the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century wanted to buy a title, so they could sit with hereditary aristocrat­s in the Lords, to rule the people.

You must all understand that feudalism was based on the widespread belief that there were three levels of humans – monarch, noble and commoner – and because the first were unquestion­ably superior, they deserved all the wealth and the power. This belief was shared by most commoners for hundreds of years, but only 50 per cent of British adults still think that.

Feudalism, where privileged superiors deserve to be rich, because of their hereditary genes, changed slightly to Conservati­sm in the 19th century, where all the rich were now regarded as superior because they had so much money.

Conservati­ve commoners vote for that because Liberals had fought for voting and other rights, such as the OAP, always opposed by Tories in both Houses. Children have a right to be taught the truth at school.

Science proved 150 years ago that hereditary gene superiorit­y had never been true for five minutes in 1,000 years, but if education never teaches ethical principles to teenagers they are not in an intellectu­al position to perceive the injustices which still continue, since all the wealth and power remain with billionair­e moguls of Conservati­ve economics.

One of the unpleasant consequenc­es of both feudalist and Conservati­ve culture, its effect upon unthinking humans, was always that aristocrat­s believed that they ‘deserved’ everything they possessed, whilst others starved. If you studied history, or present economics, you would know how their conduct condemns their continued inhumanity.
