This is the type of socialization that children are subjected to in public schools. The independent spirit is gradually crushed so that when those would-be leaders grow up, they will be easy to rule. Don't be shocked. It's happening right here, right now all around you. Ironically, while the rest of the world is discovering that socialism doesn't work, America is embracing it.
All socialist countries have to prepare fertile ground for their ideology.
It's a long-term investment that begins in the schools. Here's how they do it. First, they create a law to force parents to send their kids to school. The law, by the way, is only an attendance law it carries no accountability for the teachers to actually impart knowledge to their students. Schools have a captive audience, but no accountability to provide a good education to them.
