An electrician named Lech Walesa, jumping a wall at the Gdansk shipyard. Boris Yeltsin atop a tank in front of the Russian White House, defying the Communist old guard in 1991. Pastor Laszlo Tokes, refusing an eviction notice from his Romanian flat as crowds of demonstrators gathered. A playwright named Vaclav Havel before a joint session of Congress, giving in Czech a speech quoting the Declaration of Independence. Exactly. "Credentialism" or "Expert-ism" is how the Ruling Class exerts control. For them the vetting process consists of having candidates approved by "their" academics.

An American screen actor starring down the Soviet Union. Imagine that.
