I am a teacher and this is my publicly stated desire to overthrow capitalism.

Context: govt saying resources from organisations with & #39;extreme views& #39; should not be used in classrooms.

They define extreme views as including "a publicly stated desire to abolish or overthrow democracy, capitalism, or to end free and fair elections" https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/sep/27/uk-schools-told-not-to-use-anti-capitalist-material-in-teaching">https://www.theguardian.com/education...

But capitalism is not the corollary to democracy. Quite the opposite. Under capitalism only a limited form of democracy is possible. Better than before - but not enough.

True democracy permeates the economy too. So that the world& #39;s resources can be used for the benefit of all.

I had hoped that this was obvious but apparently not... My tweet was satirising they government’s authoritarian restrictions on what materials can be used in schools, not a threat to indoctrinate children.

I teach nine year olds. Capitalism doesn’t come up one way or another.
