Education for a new society

Do you think it is possible to build an education system that will truly allow people to develop their creativity and critical thinking, or will it always be for creating 'economy fodder'?

No. I think workers who have already 'developed their creativity and critical thinking' will have to 'build an education system' of their own.

Within capitalist relations of production? Yes.

Any 'education system' will reflect the socio-economic priorities of its 'building' class.
