George
Bernard Shaw
1856-1950
Every
serious student of the subject knows that the stability of a civilization
depends finally on the wisdom with which it distributes its wealth and allots
its burdens of labor, and on the veracity of the instruction it provides for
its children. We do not distribute the wealth at all: we throw it into the
streets to be scrambled for by the strongest and the greediest who will stoop
to such scrambling, after handing the lion’s share to the professional robbers
politely called owners. We cram our children with lies, and punish anyone who
tries to enlighten them. Our remedies for the consequences of our folly are
tariffs, inflation, wars, vivisection's and inoculations – vengeance, violence,
black magic.
George Bernard Shaw wants his future generation to be awakened to the black side of government because of education. He stresses that in society, that the one who is educated, is the only person who can own and rule the society itself.
