Here is the most important point, made by Professor Paglia:

"Everything is so easy now," Ms. Paglia continues. "The stores are so plentifully supplied. You just go in and buy fruits and vegetables from all over the world." Undergrads, who've studied neither economics nor history, "have a sense that this is the way life has always been. Because they've never been exposed to history, they have no idea that these are recent attainments that come from a very specific economic system."

Many young people have had such a woefully poor education and have been so isolated from the challenges of life that they really don't appreciate that everything we have is a result of a hugely successful capitalist economy.

Camille is one of a vanishing breed, the Honest Liberal. I disagree with her on a lot but I give her credit for calling out the lunatics in her party.

And I am damned glad none of them will listen to her.

"The stores are so plentifully supplied. You just go in and buy fruits and vegetables from all over the world."

I agree. But I suspect a lot of young people would shrug and say: "I have college loans. So the system doesn't work."
