We'll just have our own Tiananmen Square.
The CCP is a lot more stable than western oligarchs. China is preparing a future for new generations instead of paying lip service to it. There's no comparison between China's infrastructure and the US. China spends its money moving into the 21st century while the US bankrupted the treasury on wars.
The elites refuse to take responsibility for this colossal failure. You'd rather fence off the people's house and look down your nose at the marginalized.

i don't believe that you're accurately defining the "elite."
I believe that you're attributing the attitudes of Joe Sixpack dolts in Middle America to the sophisticated coastal elite,
just because of an innate dislike for elitism.
That's my opinion. You will clearly disagree.
Meanwhile the CCP is the Community College of Philadelphia.
China is the PRC. Throw stones from a more secure position.
The right labels anything that helps the masses as socialism. The fact is the huge majority goes to the top. The powerful are looting us and ruling us. Our tax money is in the pockets of the top 1 percent and corporations that pay little or none. The label works so well on the guys who claim to be Joe sixpack. They are actually Joe Dumbfuck.
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) makes all the decisions for China. The Chinese elite of the Qing Dynasty fled to Taiwan during the Chinese Revolution of 1911. Japan stole most of that wealth in WWII but they used it to built schools and factories (infrastructure) throughout Asia. Taiwan became a giant US military base for the opium war with Vietnam. Vietnam was about the CIA control of opium.
All the Ivy League schools on the US east coast got their wealth from the opium trade with China in the 18th and 19th centuries. All the big name families in Massachusetts got rich from bringing Chinese opium here to the US. Alcohol and tobacco allowed for new wealth but if you read the history of old wealth on the east coast of the US (the elite of the elite) came from opium.

Are you against public education? Against the idea of the United States producing well educated voters?

No not at all. Your complex question--which by the way is meaningless drivel--aside, the question isn't about public education, but rather its effectiveness. Public education has progressively gotten worse. That decline really accelerated under the Carter administration when the Department of Education was formed. The more government that's involved in education, the worse education becomes.
Thus, the best thing we could do today is abolish in its entirety the Department of Education, eliminate all federal funding of education, and return this responsibility to the states. Less bureaucracy would work wonders to making education work better.
The second thing we need to do is get rid of "fair and equal" in education outcomes. That is, go back to a merit based set of outcomes based on rigorous standards. If you can't do the coursework at grade level you get left behind. Work harder. That's what the top nations in education outcomes do. In the US, public education has become daycare with teachers giving out minimal lessons in mostly stupid stuff.

Right now, it seems almost impossible to find somebody that's sane, intelligent, and wise at the same time.
Maybe all that chlorinated water really was a communist conspiracy to compromise our precious bodily fluids.
Sly bastards. Surprised that they're not still around.
I thought it was the 'fluoridation' of the Water Supply?
"The water fluoridation controversy arises from political, moral, ethical, economic, and health considerations regarding the fluoridation of public water supplies."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fluoridation_controversy
--->"Conspiracy theories involving fluoridation are common, and include claims that fluoridation was motivated by protecting the U.S. atomic bomb program from litigation, that (as famously parodied in the film Dr. Strangelove, where a deranged U.S. Air Force general claimed that it would "sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids") it is part of a Communist or New World Order plot to take over the world, that it was pioneered by a German chemical company to make people submissive to those in power, ..."
