We are going to have to start up a social economy again so people have an opportunity to get properly educated and skilled free of the Market capitalists conniving and exploitation's.  People have a right to be trained and skilled in trades and the market capitalist system is not delivering anything but economic failure and corruption.

this is a prick of a system.

We'd have to make all our own electronics ourselves then.
That would suck.

It's a failed system from go to whoa. Education is an industry, an industry that has been growing by deception.

Be a life-long learner, there will be a course or 100 for every stage of your progression, simply to hide the fact that we don't have jobs.

They tell us we have a shortage of skilled workers, yet we have more people in education than ever before.

Don't believe the lie. People should be trained in trades, people want to be trained in trades, but for some reason the government does not want people to be trained in trades, otherwise they would have trade schools for those people who are not already in the industry.

They have created a catch 22 situation, where a person can only be trained in a trade if they are taken on as an apprentice. That's discrimination for the person who wants to get into a certain industry, but does not get an apprenticeship.

It's all a big ponci scheme to benefit the capitalist pigs who are sucking the blood from the 99%.

People need to understand how to do things for themselves and each other and those skills have to be taught.  We have to understand for ourselves how things work and how they are fixed.  Its the monopolizing and hoarding of knowledge that is excluding people.  Market capitalism does not train and skill people, it poaches skills by outsourcing.  I am not talking about filling skills shortages to suit business demands that I could give a flip about, I am talking about giving people trades again spreading the knowledge and skill out as wide as possible.  We need to abolish the shareholder capitalists monopolization and control of  knowledge and skill and teach each other again.  the power of corporatism and control of wealth can only be broken by opportunities for Australians to learn trade skills and to be educated - that is a fact and we have to be able to be educated without accruing a huge debt over our heads to evil, greedy, lowlife, scumbag, shareholder capitalists.  knowledge must be shared not controlled - if you have access to text books and trade manuals FFS rip them and upload them to the internet.

not if you enjoy electronics. And really we have to stop being hole diggers at some point.

In that situation, give me an island, a boat, a fishing rod, a net, a continuous supply of beer and water and a woman or two.

Sea steading is the way to go. 

But of course theres the enduring question of how to make 'da man' tolerate you removing yourself from their sphere of influence.  That's the thing with power - you always want more.

The problem with mars is that the lower gravity ensures anyone living there will soon become physically feeble compared to the earth-based ubermensch, with their robust 1.0 gravity. 
So, I propose that leftards be sent to Mars instead - after all, they are used to being weaklings.
