One such idiotic approach we’re all too familiar with, especially in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand, not to mention across the formerly colonized world, is an emphasis on “indigenous techniques” and “indigenous ways of knowing.” Of course, this isn’t some new invention.

Cooperation is supposed to rule the day, and competition is put down as a bourgeois ideology that alienates man from his neighbor and thus his true social nature. Well, wouldn’t you know that’s bogus? Communism is insanely competitive on every level, but because it’s also a farcical lie, it’s not a competition to make things better but to screw things up. More accurately, Communists
