Indeed their education was not very high, but it doesn't need to be so. It is enough that one becomes some reliable information, for even this basic education is an important factor to make men self-confident and less receptive to obscure powers. It is the awareness of being a free thinking individual which gives men the power to throw off all despotism. Soon the Chinese people will be ready for its second revolution. It is true that the Chinese leaders have given some freedom to the people for a more personal economy in the hope to save the communist system, but of course it is not enough.
Individual freedom needs more than the permission to do some business.
But at the same time even this little economic freedom, combined with an increased education, will start an unstoppable process of liberation. It is a consequence of modern analytic science that our world becomes more and more a collection of bits and pieces. The original coherence disappears and makes place for several more or less academic theories. Of course there is nothing against scientific theories, but when these theories occupy the place of the reality man has a problem. He is victim of a delusion and his activities become a shot in the dark.
